Results are expressed as mean ± SEM and significance of different developmental stages (10 DAP, 20 DAP, 30 DAP, 40 DAP) comparison is defined as p ≤ 0.05 by Tuckey test after data normalization by Box-Cox method or by Kruskal-Wallis & Wilcoxon (CmSUS1 and CmSUS2). Different letters indicate significant differences
