For each population, the mean number of alleles (NA), expected heterozygosity (HE), observed heterozygosity (HO) and Weir and Cockerham's inbreeding coefficient (FIS) are shown for adult plants and offspring, with standard error in parentheses. The 95 % confidence intervals are given in parentheses for FIS. Significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of FIS values are in italics.
For the analyses, multiple ramets with identical genets were reduced into a single genet.
