  1. Note: in this table, Chl a, Chl b, Chl t, and Car indicate chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids, respectively. Data are presented as the mean values ± SDs of three biological replicates. Different lowercase letters within a column indicate significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 according to Duncan’s tests; the same applies to subsequent tables
