  1. Apical, middle and basal indicate apical, middle and basal 10 cm segments of the stem. The data outside and in the brackets are mean value and SEM (n = 3), respectively
  2. *, † Indicate significant differences (0.01 < p < 0.05) compared with, respectively, the apical and middle stem segments (** and †† 0.001 < p<0.01), and (*** and ††† p < 0.001)
