  1. The numbers were expressed as r value of Pearson correlation coefficients (n = 10 for the test of phenotypic traits; n = 3 for the test of physicochemical traits). *p < 0.05. S.TP, S.TF, S.VC represent the total phenolic, flavonoid, and VC of the seeds, respectively. J.TP, J.TF, J.VC represent the total phenolic, flavonoid, and VC of the juice, respectively
