  1. 1Stages 1-5 correspond to the end of anthesis, the milk-development stage, the soft dough-development stage, the hard dough-development and the ripening stage, respectively.
  2. 2 Means followed by different letters within a column are significantly different by a Tukey test (P< 0.05).
  3. 3 * and ** indicate significance at the 0.05 and 0.01 probability levels, respectively.
