Comparison between male, female, and PGM plants of H. rhamnoides in natural populations for reproductive allocation

	Male plants	Female plants	PGM plants	One-way ANOVA
Flower production (per inflorescence)	9.35 ± 2.43a	6.01 ± 1.92b	7.72 ± 1.58c	F(2,212) = 49.36, p < 0.001
Pollen viability (%)	58.02 ± 13.15	—	49.60 ± 15.54*	F(1,70) = 5.82, p < 0.018
Pollen fertility (%)	89.28 ± 6.70	—	70.67 ± 19.62**	F(1,98) = 28.09, p < 0.001
Pollen production (per flower)	77,620.18 ± 15,977.83	—	21,357.69 ± 17,180.41**	F(1,121) = 321.84, p < 0.001
Fruit production (per infructescence)	—	4.53 ± 1.67	2.1 ± 1.04**	F(1,128) = 55.38, p < 0.001

The genders were considered fixed factors and the pollen production, fertility, viability, and fruit production were dependent variables. a, b, c indicate significant differences among the genders analyzed by post hoc Dunnett’s test.
