Characteristics of protein metabolism at the end of the cold acclimation period.
| Organ | Protein | Oilseed Rape Cultivars | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ‘Valesca’ | ‘Casino’ | ||
| Terminal bud | Disappeared | 25.80 ± 0.20 aA | 31.15 ± 2.15 aB |
| Newly formed | 37.25 ± 2.25 bA | 40.63 ± 3.13 bA | |
| Remaining the same | 36.95 ± 2.05 cA | 28.23 ± 0.98 cB | |
| Root collar | Disappeared | 16.91 ± 2.09 aA | 25.21 ± 5.40 aB |
| Newly formed | 38.12 ± 2.52 bA | 32.25 ± 1.25 bB | |
| Remaining the same | 45.03 ± 0.13 cA | 42.50 ± 1.15 cB | |
There were four biological experiments with three replicates in each. Within each cultivar in the same organ, different lowercase letters indicate significant differences in the mean percentage of protein metabolism changes that were classified according to three characteristics. Different uppercase letters indicate significant differences in the mean percentage of protein metabolism changes in the same characteristic between the two rapeseed cultivars in the same organ. Bars are the means ± SD with different letters and are significantly different at p < 0.05 according to the Duncan test.
