^#Leaf a* recorded negative values for green leaves, hence data scaling was applied to calculate variability, heritability and genetic gain.

*, Shapiro–Wilk test statistic values at P ≤ 0.001 for all parameters except for peel b* values (P= 0.969).

^aVariability ^<10% (low), 10–20% (moderate), >20% (high).

^bHeritability 0-30% (low), 31-60% (moderate), >60% (high).

^cGAM ^<10% (low), 10–20% (moderate), >20% (high).

SW, Shapiro–Wilk test of normality.

GCV, genotypic coefficient of variability; PCV, phenotypic coefficient of variability; h², heritability in broad sense; GAM, genetic advance as a per cent of mean.
