Analysis of differences between crop progenitors and related wild species for a range of traits in the equal seed mass experiment. Results are shown for the short and long lists of crop progenitors and show the p‐values from the pgls analysis

Trait	Short list of progenitors	Long list of progenitors
ln (seed mass)	NS	<0.0001Progenitors larger
ln (biomass)	NS	NS
Percentage rep mass	NS	<0.0001Progenitors higher
ln (yield per pot)	NS	<0.0001Progenitors higher
ln (yield per plant)	NS	<0.0001Progenitors higher
ln (yield per tiller)	NS	<0.0001Progenitors higher
HI	<0.05 Progenitors higher	<0.0001Progenitors higher
sqrt (tillers per plant)	NS	NS
ln (seed number per plant)	NS	NS
ln (seed number per tiller)	NS	<0.05Progenitors higher
ln (height)	NS	NS
Time to flower	NS	NS

NS = non significant, and numbers in bold indicate a significant difference between crop progenitors and other wild species.
