a

The cultivars for which the levels of anthocyanins were below the detection limit (DL) or quantification limit (QL) have been omitted from the table.

b

t = traces.

c

nd = not detected. Means within the same column with no letters in common are significantly different. Data for which LSD is not provided have been log transformed and the significant differences are based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the logarithmic data.
