Table 3. Esters, alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and 4-hydroxydecanoyl-CoA in the cv Achutao fhPpAAT1-overexpressing fruits and controls.

Data are presented as means ± se (n = 6). N.D., Below the limit of quantification, which is defined as signal/noise > 5. Letters indicate significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 as determined using ANOVA followed by Fisher’s lsd test.
