Different letters within individual rows indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 based on Duncan’s multiple range test. Data are means ± SD (n = 3). The order of ginsenosides from top to bottom is based on the contents of individual ginsenosides in GSE0 from high to low. Among the ginsenosides listed, Rd, Rb2, Rc, and Rb3 are protopanaxadiols, while Re, Rg1, S-Rg2, F1, S-Rh1, R-Rg2, and Rf are protopanaxatriols. * not detected.
