Concentration of total anthocyanin aglycones and glycosides in the UV-B-treated samples after 24 and 36 h from the UV-B exposure.
Aglicones | Glycosides | ||
(mg/kg DW) | (mg/kg DW) | ||
24 h | CTR | 62.4 ± 2.4Ab | 235.1 ± 16.8a |
10 min UV-B | 46.5 ± 13.5Bb | 287.6 ± 30.8a | |
60 min UV-B | 27.6 ± 11.5Bb | 288.2 ± 34.8a | |
36 h | CTR | 67.2 ± 2.3Ab | 248.4 ± 4.5a |
10 min UV-B | 45.6 ± 9.7Bb | 224.3 ± 28.7a | |
60 min UV-B | 47.2 ± 23.4Bb | 216.8 ± 18.2a |
Data are mean ± SE of three biological replicates. Different letters correspond to statistically significant differences according to one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey–Kramer post hoc test (P ≤ 0.05). Lowercase letters refer to the comparison between aglycones and glycosides, while uppercase letters refer to the comparison between the controls and the UV-B-treated groups in each recovery time point (24 or 36 h).
