Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Tocopherol content increased with tissue age in all studied species.
- Observation Spinach had the fastest tocopherol accumulation rate.
- Association Fruit tocopherol accumulation showed the same irradiance dependence.
- Association Cucumber fruit tocopherol declined at senescence.
- Recommendation Harvest timing and growth conditions can enhance or reduce vegetable tocopherol content.
