Changes in the hemicellulose content of banana (Musa spp.) under low temperature stress. Hemicellulose content is expressed as a percentage per gram of fresh leaves. The data represent an average of three replicates ± SE. Values followed by the same letter are not significantly different using a Duncan’s multiple range test at p < 0.05 after angular transformation of the data for each cultivar. Values marked with a star were considered significant at p < 0.05, while values marked with two stars were considered significant at p < 0.01 when evaluated using Student’s t-test. BX ‘Baxijiao’, chilling-sensitive (CS); DJ ‘Dongguandajiao’, chilling-tolerant (CT).
