Total number of plants analyzed from two F1 Coffea arabica hybrid lines (H1 and H3) corresponding to somatic-embryo derived 3 year-old plants (emblings) with normal or variant phenotypes along with their respective mother plants as reference. The numbers of emblings for each variant phenotype are also given.
