Table 1 Proportion of full seeds (mean ± SD) in capitulum in experimental crosses

From: Cytotype coexistence in the field cannot be explained by inter-cytotype hybridization alone: linking experiments and computer simulations in the sexual species Pilosella echioides (Asteraceae)

	Paternal parent
Maternal parent	2x	3x	4x
2x	0.52^ef ± 0.28 (41; 2525)	0.23^abcd ± 0.23 (31; 1692)	0.66^f ± 0.13 (39; 2343)
3x	0.22^abc ± 0.16 (38; 2007)	0.06^a ± 0.06 (86; 4280)	0.30^bcd ± 0.15 (61; 2750)

Means not sharing the same superscript were significantly different as determined by a one-way ANOVA and Scheffé's post-hoc test. The number of capitula and the total number of seeds (full + empty) are in parentheses
