  1. ***P<0.001.
  2. Pollen tube growth in styles involving crosses among the mutant Mhomo-H with long- and short-styled plants of T. subulata (T. sub), T. krapovickasii (T. krp) and a self-compatible short-styled plant of T. subulata (Bry). Number of styles examined (N), number of styles with pollen tubes at the base, mean (SD) length of style, distance traversed by the majority pollen tubes and the longest tube are provided. Means sharing the same superscript are not significantly different following Scheffe's test (P<0.05). F-values from a one-way ANOVA are provided.
