Table 3. Leaf pigment contents at initial stage.

This table presents the pigment contents level at initial stage, the pigment contents units were mg/g FW, the pigment contents were distracted from fresh samples of newly matured leaves. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Different letters indicate significant differences at p ≤ 0.05 based on Duncan’s new multiple range test.
