z
Abbreviations: SSC = soluble solids concentration; TA = titratable acidity; GAE = gallic acid equivalents; C3GE = cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents.
y
Means within genotype with the same letters are not significantly different according to Tukey’s honestly significant difference test (p ≤ 0.05). Interaction of GT × L significant (p ≤ 0.05) for all variables.
