Table 2 Sterol content (Ī¼gā€‰mgāˆ’ā€‰1 of protein) of plasma membrane from cauliflower inflorescences and leaves at 70ā€‰days and 90ā€‰days of plant development. The data are represented as the means (nā€‰=ā€‰3, where nā€‰=ā€‰different plasma membrane extractions)ā€‰Ā±ā€‰SE. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (pā€‰<ā€‰0.05, HSD Tukeyā€™s test) between treatments
