Seed coat proanthocyanidin levels in developing cranberry beans. Total extractable proanthocyanidin levels were determined in seed coats isolated from darkening and non-darkening cranberry bean RILs at early, intermediate and mature stages of bean seed development. Total extractable proanthocyanidin levels are expressed as procyanidin A2 equivalents as described under Methods. Each datum represents the mean ± standard error of three greenhouse replicates. The proanthocyanidin level data were analyzed for statistical differences with a one-way analysis of variance; for both RILs and their developmental stages, means were compared with the Tukey’s test. Shared letters indicate no significant differences at p ≤ 0.05
