Table 3 Phenolic compounds were determined in Petunia x hybrida ‘Mitchell Diploid’ (MD) and ir-PhCSE T1 flowers with LC–MS (μg⋅mL−1⋅mgFW−1). Data represent mean ± SE (n = 3). The means were separated by one-way ANOVA and statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were identified by Tukey’s test. The results were shown by letters to represent differences among groups
