a,b

A relationship exists between vegetal cap kind and elongation of lxl animal caps (p<0.001; Chi-square analysis). Rows with different superscripts differ significantly (p<0.001) and rows with identical superscripts do not differ significantly (p>0.05) in pairwise Chi-square analyses.

c

No significant relationship exists between vegetal cap kind and elongation of [l]xt animal caps (p>0.05; Chi-square analysis).

d

Row does not differ significantly (p>0.05) versus lxl animal cap conjugated to lxl vegetal cap, but differs significantly (p = 0.04) versus [l]xt animal cap conjugated to lxl vegetal cap in pairwise Chi-square analysis.
