The symbol * indicates significance at p < 0.01; L—length of the whole seeds; W—width of the whole seeds; T—thickness of the whole seeds; M—mass of the whole seeds; l, w, t, m—length, width, thickness and mass of the kernels; D_e—equivalent diameter of the sunflower seeds; D_ek-—equivalent diameter of sunflower kernels; ψ, ψ_k—sphericity of the sunflower seeds and kernels, respectively.
