Seed composition in defoliated amaranth in the field.
At mature amaranth seeds were collected and analyzed for A 100 seeds weight, B seed starch, C seed lipids and D seed protein. Each bar represents the mean ± SE (n = 5). The asterisks over the bars represent statistical significance at * p = 0.05, ** p = 0.01, *** p = 0.001 for the Dunnett test.
