Table 3 Test of pair-wise differences in average mtDNA copy-number of mitotypes from different generations (ancestral control G0, G71, G96, G221, G350) of MA line 1G backcrossed into N2 using the Tukey–Kramer HSD method of multiple comparisons among pairs of means.

  1. The differences in mtDNA copy-number for all subsequent generation times are scaled to mtDNA copy-number at generation G0 (ancestral control).
  2. Absolute differences among all pairs of trait means i and j are listed below the diagonal and their critical MSDij values above the diagonal. A pair of means is declared significantly different at α = 0.05 if their absolute difference equals or exceeds their MSD values (indicated by an asterisk).
  3. ∗A pair of means that are significantly different at an experiment-wise error rate of α = 0.05.
