FIGURE 2.

Sensory quality and weight loss of 100 μmol L^–1 melatonin-treated lateral buds of baby mustard during storage at 20°C. (A) Lateral buds of baby mustard at each sampling time. (B–F) Sensory parameters including color, form, odor, texture, and acceptance of lateral buds. (G) weight loss. MT-100, 100 μmol L^–1 melatonin treatment. Each value is presented as the mean ± standard error of four biological replicates. Asterisks (*) indicate the significant differences (P < 0.05) between control and melatonin-treated lateral buds during storage.
