Table 1.

Analysis of parameters calculated from the chlorophyll fluorescence OJIP transient (Figure 6a) of quinoa plants under control, drought, salinity and a combination of salinity and drought treatments. Values are the means of five replicates (three measurements per replicate). ± indicates standard error. Values followed by different letters are significantly different at the p < 0.05 level using a Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric test.
