Comprehensive analysis of metabolome and transcriptome reveals the mechanism of color formation in different leave of Loropetalum Chinense var. Rubrum

Table 1 The leaf color difference values of ML, PL, and GL.

Materials	RHSCC values	L*	a*	b*	Color index
ML	144B and 183 A	63.26 ± 1.11b	-1.13 ± 0.75b	6.56 ± 2.57b	2.60 ± 0.11a
PL	N77A	60.48 ± 0.38c	8.72 ± 0.58a	-4.79 ± 0.23c	2.56 ± 0.02a
GL	144 A	68.59 ± 0.38a	-13.44 ± 0.77c	24.65 ± 2.28a	1.87 ± 0.05b

Note: ML, Mosaic leaves; Purple leaves; GL, Green Leaves; L*, lightness; a*, red/green value; and b* blue/yellow value; Color index. Each sample was detected with three biological repetitions. Mean (± SE) with different lower letters are significantly different within the (mean separation by LSD and Duncan’s test at P < 0.05)
