| Methyl jasmonate (µM) | 25 | 396.67 ± 4.12d | 50 | 287.21 ± 3.01c |
| Rhizopus oligosporus (%) | 0.5 | 621.73 ± 6.33a | 0.5 | 423.36 ± 5.21a |
| Aspergillus niger (%) | 0.5 | 485.41 ± 4.33c | 1.0 | 354.64 ± 3.12b |
| Chitosan (µg) | 10 | 426.32 ± 4.78cd | 25 | 320.42 ± 3.78bc |
| Control | – | 323.82 ± 3.63e | – | 188.47 ± 2.01d |
