Note: Data shown are means (μg/g DW) ± SE (n = 3). Data were analyzed by using ANOVA with Fisher’s least-significant-difference test. Compounds marked with ^* indicate significant difference at 0.05 level (P < 0.05) between cultivar of each year, while ^** indicate extremely significant differences at 0.01 level (P < 0.01)
