Electrical conductivity of dried yacon leaves.

Cultivar	Age of Leaves	Average Electrical Conductivity (s/m)
		With 0.3% w/v NaCl	Without NaCl
white	young	1.00 Aa ± 0.00	0.44 Ab ± 0.01
white	old	0.99 ABa ± 0.00	0.39 Cb ± 0.01
red	young	0.98 Ba ± 0.01	0.41 ABb ± 0.00
red	old	0.91 Ca ± 0.01	0.31 Db ± 0.01

Reported values are presented as mean values ± standard deviation. Mean values with the same capital letter in a column and same lowercase letter in a row are not significantly different as indicated by Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
