The morphological phenotype of representative fruits (a); the content of ATs (b); and the content of gallic acid and punicalagin isomers (c) in the outer peels of PG100–1 and UG3. The fruits were uncovered or covered with paper bags for two months during August and September. The peak areas of ATs, gallic acid and punicalagins were measured using HPLC, and their levels were calculated based on standards. The abbreviations for the ATs are: C-3-G and C-3,5-G, mono- and di-glucosides of cyanidin; P-3-G and P-3,5-G, mono- and di-glucosides of pelargonidin; and D-3,5-G di-glucoside of delphinidin. The data presented represent the mean ± SD of seven biological replicates from each accession. In each accession, comparisons were made between the two treatments using the student t-test and are indicated by asterisks (p < 0.05)
