Different letters within the same column represent significant differences at the 5% level based on Duncan's multiple range test, while the same letter represents no significant differences. Abbreviations: SP, self-pollination; CP, cross-pollination; OP, open-pollination; NP, non-pollination; SD, Standard Deviation.
