Values are expressed as mean (SD)

Different superscript letters within a same line (parameter) means statistical differences (p ≤ 0.04) while an asterisk (located in the higher value) means statistical differences (p ≤ 0.04) for the pairwise comparison between split (dehiscent) and unsplit endocarps; not detected (nd).
