The means shown in different capital letters per line indicate a significant statistical difference (p ≤ 0.05) between the seed coat and cotyledon within each variety. The means shown in lowercase letters per column indicate a significant statistical difference (p ≤ 0.05) between bean varieties within each part of the seed. Mean ± Standard Deviation.
