  1. ***P<0.001.
  2. Mean (SD) pollen size, style and stamen lengths for the Drh homostyle mutant and long- and short-styled plants of autotetraploid T. scabra. Long-styled plants measured were progeny from the cross of Drh with a long-styled plant from this population. F-values from ANOVA are provided. Means with the same superscript do not differ significantly based upon Scheffe's test.
