Values are given as mean and standard deviation of the mean (SD) of forward scatter (FS, channel units), side scatter (SS, channel units), fluorescence (FL, channel units), coefficient of variation of G₀/G₁ DNA peak (CV,%), debris background factor (DF,%) and yield factor (YF,%).

Means for the same species followed by the same letter (a or b) are not statistically different according to a t-test at P ≤ 0·05.

The buffer chosen for the genome size estimations in each species is shown in bold type.

G.t., Growth type; W, woody; H, herbaceous; S, succulent; GPB, general purpose buffer; WPB, woody plant buffer.
