TABLE 1.

Results of factorial ANOVA evaluating the presence of endophytes (E) and temporal kinetics for total soluble sugars (mg/g FW), proline (μmol/g FW), and TBARS (mmol mL^–1/g FW) in plants of Colobanthus quitensis subjected to water content currently found in Antarctica (W−) and the projected one according to climate change forecast (W+).
