Fig. 5From: Landraces of snake melon, an ancient Middle Eastern crop, reveal extensive morphological and DNA diversity for potential genetic improvementRanking 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 testBack to article page
