A Conserved Mutation in an Ethylene Biosynthesis Enzyme Leads to Andromonoecy in Melons
Science, 2008Andromonoecy is a widespread sexual system in angiosperms characterized by plants carrying both male and bisexual flowers. In melon, this sexual form is controlled by the identity of the alleles at the andromonoecious ( a ) locus. Cloning of the

Andromonoecy and fruit set in three genera of the Proteaceae
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1994It has been suggested by some authors that the low fruit to flower ratio in some Proteaceae is due to andromonoecy, while others, looking particularly at Banksia , have not been able to find evidence for male flowers in the inflorescences. Stirlingia latifolia, Xylomelum occidentale and X. angustifolium are clearly andromonoccous, while no evidence for

Andromonoecy in an Old World Papilionoid legume, Erophaca baetica
Plant Biology, 2012AbstractAndromonoecy (i.e. the occurrence on individual plants of hermaphroditic and male flowers) is a rare sexual system among the angiosperms, regarded by some authors as a transitional stage from hermaphroditism to monoecy. Having discovered the occurrence of andromonoecy in Erophaca baetica (a Mediterranean shrubby legume with two subspecies), a ...

Can andromonoecy explain low fruit : flower ratios in the Proteaceae?
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1991There are several possible explanations for the low fruit: flower ratios commonly observed in the Australian Proteaceae—some proximate and others ultimate. One of these, namely that some flowers on a plant are functionally male (andromonoecy), has recently received considerable attention.

Sex-specific DNA methylation and gene expression in andromonoecious poplar
Plant Cell Reports, 2012The andromonoecious poplar is an exceptional model system for studying sex-specific flower development in dioecious plants. There is increasing evidence that epigenetic regulation, particularly DNA methylation, is an important regulatory factor during flower development.

Expression of andromonoecy in coriander, Coriandrum sativum L.
Euphytica, 1973The expression and probable genetic control of andromonoecy has been reported in coriander. Highly significant varietal differences were observed in respect of all the characters under study. Male flowers occur intermixed throughout the coriander inflorescence. Early opening flowers in an umbellet are generally hermaphrodite. Decondensing the umbellet,

Fruit set increases with maleness in the andromonoecious Acacia caven
Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2014In long-lived plants, sexual expression can be highly variable in time and space. The extent to which sexual dimorphism of flowers is expressed in the same or in separate individuals, may have implications for the plants’ dependence on pollen vectors, the compatibility of the pollen received, and the potential for setting fruit.

The significance of andromonoecy for the breeding of Asparagus officinalis L.
Euphytica, 1953Following a previous publication in this periodical (3), indicating the lines along which an entirely male asparagus variety can be obtained, the above article further discusses the difficulties to be overcome. The combination of andromonoecism and homozygosis for the male sex (andromonoecious MM-plants) is discussed in more detail.

Expression of Andromonoecy and Pollination of Tuberous Lomatiums (Umbelliferae)
Systematic Botany, 1982Tuberous lomatiums (Lomatium, Umbelliferae) constitute a well-de- fined infrageneric group that is characterized by adaptation to a short, early spring growing season followed by a long summer drought. All tuberous lomatiums are andromonoecious and all exhibit 'a pattern of increasing ratios of hermaphroditic to staminate flowers in successively ...
