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 ...

Environmentally Influenced Changes in Sex Expression in an Andromonoecious Plant
Ecology, 1985Sexual expression and maternal investment were investigated in the herbaceous perennial Solanum carolinense (Solanaceae). Field censuses, pollen germination studies, and the results of hand—pollination experiments in a greenhouse revealed that there are three flower types.

ANDROMONOECY IN THE NEW ZEALAND MONTANE SHRUB MANUKA, LEPTOSPERMUM SCOPARIUM (MYRTACEAE)
American Journal of Botany, 1980The ecological and evolutionary advantages of andromonoecy are considered by examining populations of a montane grasslands shrub. Manuka plants (Leptospermum scoparium, Myrtaceae) produce two kinds of flowers: male flowers having functional stamens and a nonfunctional pistil, and hermaphrodite flowers in which both the stamens and pistil are functional.

Floral biology and pollination in Cucumis melo L., a tropical andromonoecious cucurbit
Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2019Abstract We studied floral biology and the role of flower visitors in fruit set of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.). Muskmelon produced Staminate (hereafter ‘S’) and Hermaphrodite (hereafter ‘H’) flowers with a ratio of 18:1. Flowers opened around 40 days after planting and flowering continued for another 40 days.

Floral Morphology ofApuleia leiocarpa(Dialiinae: Leguminosae), an Unusual Andromonoecious Legume
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2013Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) J. F. Macbr. is a South American tree species belonging to the caesalpinioid subfamily of the Leguminosae. Phylogenetic analyses have placed Apuleia into the Dialiinae s.l. clade, with which it shares numerous morphological similarities, including dichasial cymose inflorescences.

Cryptic andromonoecy in Tilia japonica implicated by flower abortion
Plant Species Biology, 1999Abstract Tilia japonica Simonkai has morphologically perfect flowers with stamens and a pistil. However, some flowers fall without developing into immature fruits. We clarified that: (i) the flower abscission is a facultative abortion, (an abscission layer was observed at the base of the stalk ...

On evolution of andromonoecy and ‘overproduction’ of flowers: a resource allocation model
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1991The conditions for the evolution of andromonoecy and male-function-controlled overproduction of fertile flowers in hermaphrodites are considered using the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) approach. Andromonoecy and male-function-controlled floral display are promoted if further increase in pollen amount per flower is disadvantageous and/or increase

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.
