Table 1 Fatty acid percentage, percentage of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) double bond index (DBIā€‰=ā€‰āˆ‘ (unsaturated fatty acids x number of double bonds)), ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (RUFAā€‰=ā€‰(C18:2ā€‰+ā€‰C18:3)/(C18:1), for plasma membrane from cauliflower inflorescences and leaves at 70ā€‰days and 90ā€‰days of development. The data are represented as the means (nā€‰=ā€‰3, where nā€‰=ā€‰different plasma membrane extractions)ā€‰Ā±ā€‰SE. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (pā€‰<ā€‰0.05, in HSD Tukeyā€™s test) between treatments
