SA, garlic sprouted all; SL, garlic sprouted leaf; SB, garlic sprouted bulb; SR, garlic sprouted root.
All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Means with different superscript letters in the same row are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test (a>b>c>d>e>f>g).
Means with different superscript letters in the same column are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test (A>B>C>D>E>F).
