The phenotype, total content of four bioactive components, and total anthocyanin content in S4 and S6-staged leaves of the HN2-43 line of E. sagittatum. (A) Leaves of the HN2-43 line show a color change from red (S4) to green (S6) as the leaves mature. Four bioactive components (icariin, epimedin A, B, C) are abundant in the young red S4-staged leaves (B) where the total anthocyanin content is also high (C) compared to the old green S6-staged leaves.
