VS: percent of viviparous seeds; VF: fruits bearing viviparous seeds; IS: immature seed; GP seed germination percent.

For each trait, values followed by the different letter in a line (capital letters) and in a column (tiny letters) are significantly different (P < 0.05) using LSD.

NI063 and NI189 are non-viviparous accessions whereas NI128 and NI153 are highly viviparous.

DAF: days after fertilization; CPW: complete plant withered; CPWS: complete plant withered and stored at 60 days.
