| Upper Side | Lower Side | ||||||
| cm | cm2 per leaf | d | g per plant | mm2 | |||
| UT | 3.2 ± 0.3 | 135.3 ± 5 | 492.2 ± 116 | 152 ± 6 | 584.2 ± 33 | 14.5 ± 3 | 21.6 ± 4 |

a
A total of 24 mature leaves (counted from the top, the seventh, and eighth) from 12 BGL-1 and 12 UT plants were measured with the 3,100 leaf area meter.
b
Five fully grown plants (with 14–16 leaves) from BGL-1 and UT were weighed after removal of soil. The whole plants (including the leaves, stems, and roots) were weighed on a Metter electronic balance.
