Table 4.

Number of embryos in Sikitita mother trees assigned to each pollen genotype (columns) in the different pollination treatments during the 2022 season. LOD score threshold = 0.40. In bold, the most successful fathers.

Pollination Treatment	Sikitita *	Arbequina	Arbosana	Koroneiki	Tosca	Unknown Cultivar **	Below LOD Value
Self-pollination	6	0	4	1	0	0	2
Open-pollination	0	6	26	1	4	0	32
×Arbequina	0	9	37	0	0	0	9
×Arbosana	0	0	46	0	0	1	0

* ×Sikitita represents self-fertilization. ** SSR markers profile does not correspond to any of the five cultivars present in the experimental orchard. Fertilization by a different genotype of pollen applied denotes some degree of pollen contamination in self- and cross-pollination treatments.
