CER: coiled endoplasmic reticulum; G: glycogen; L: lipid droplets; SG/SGC: number of globules per cluster; SGC: shell globule clusters; (+/−): presence/absence of considered character; (/): no data on the considered character. Families are given in alphabetical order. Sizes are in μm. Data are averages of measurements on 10 cells.
