Notes.

The parameter L* indicates the lightness of leaves, the number is bigger, the color is closer to white. The parameter a* indicates green and red, the number is bigger, the color is closer to red, otherwise it is closer to green. The parameter b* indicates yellow and blue, the number is bigger, the color is closer to yellow, otherwise it is closer to blue. Different letters indicate significant differences at p ≤ 0.05 based on Duncan’s new multiple range test.
