Response variable	Data transformation	df	t	P
Seed set	None	113	7.86	<0.001
Number of pods	Square root	115	−1.06	0.3
Number of flowers	Square root	115	−2.99	0.003
Fruit set	Arcsine	115	4.26	<0.001
Thousand seed weight	Logarithm	111	−3.25	0.002
Plant yield	Logarithm	111	2.31	0.02
Plant straw biomass	Square root	115	−3.72	<0.001
Yield/straw ratio	Square root	111	5.21	<0.001

Negative t values indicate a higher value for the plants with pollinator exclusion than for the plants with pollinator access
