The statistical significance of the selection coefficients was determined using either regression models with log transformed relative fitness or using bootstrapping. The methodology used to obtain the different selection coefficients is summarized in Table 1. The letter P stands for probability and NS for not statistically significant. Rcps stands for racemes per stem and stpp stands for stems per plant.
