Ranking of landraces for fruit quality parameters. Fruits picked at 6–7 dpa (small) and 8–9 dpa (larger) were assayed. Left: average and SE of each population (smaller fruit data is shown for taste and texture, larger fruit data for hollow proportion). Right: average and SE of each variety, separately for small fruits (filled columns) and larger (hatched columns) fruits. a – Taste: 1- tasty, 3- insipid. b – Texture: 1 – crispy, 3 – soft. c – Frequency of hollow fruit: 1 – present in all plants, 0 - absent. Four horticultural varieties are marked by color as in Fig. 1. Letters depict significantly different values, according to 1-way Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test
