Quantitative analysis of hexoses, sucrose and short chain oligofructans in CiHRCs grown on inulin-induction medium after 72 h exposure to abiotic stress or hormone treatments. Abiotic stress and hormone treatments as in Fig. 6. (A) Contents (mg/g FW) of glucose, fructose and sucrose. (B) Contents (mg/g FW) of 1-kestotriose (GF2), 1,1-kestotetraose (GF3) and 1,1,1-kestopentaose (GF4). Values are means±SD of three independent experiments. Asterisks represent significant differences as determined by Student’s t-test (*P<0.05, **P<0.001).
