The Ethylene Biosynthesis Gene CitACS4 Regulates Monoecy/Andromonoecy in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Monoecious and andromonoecious cultivars of watermelon are characterised by the production of male and female flower or male and hermaphrodite flowers, respectively.

A conserved ethylene biosynthesis enzyme leads to andromonoecy in two cucumis species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Andromonoecy is a widespread sexual system in angiosperms, characterized by plants carrying both male and bisexual flowers. Monoecy is characterized by the presence of both male and female flowers on the same plant.

Andromonoecy and buzz pollination in Solanum species (Solanaceae) endemic to the Canary Islands [PDF]
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2006 We investigated the pollination and reproductive biology of two Canary Island endemics, Solanum vespertilio and S. lidii (Solanaceae). We measured male function (pollen development), female function (fruit initiation) and spatial arrangement of ...

Molecular polymorphisms of the nuclear and chloroplast genomes among African melon germplasms reveal abundant and unique genetic diversity, especially in Sudan. [PDF]
Ann BotBackground and Aims Africa is rich in wild species of Cucumis and is considered one of the places of origin of melon. However, our knowledge of African melon is limited, and genetic studies using melon germplasms with wide geographical coverage are ...

Not all weeds are created equal: A database approach uncovers differences in the sexual system of native and introduced weeds [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 2636-2642, April 2017., 2017 Weedy species provide excellent opportunities to examine the process of successful colonization of novel environments. Despite the influence of the sexual system on a variety of processes from reproduction to genetic structure, how the sexual system of ...

Ignoring within‐flower self‐fertilization and inbreeding depression biases estimates of selection on floral traits in a perennial alpine herb [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 11, Page 2540-2551, November 2024.Within-flower self-pollination should be the major source of self-fertilization in mixed-mating species that present single or few flowers simultaneously.

Floral biology of Cneorum tricoccon L. (Cneoraceae): an unknown case of andromonoecy
Collectanea Botanica, 1997 La condició d'andromonoècia ha estat descrita per a una població natural de Cneorum tricoccon L. (Cneoraceae) provinent de Mallorca. Hom ha trobat que la relació entre flors perfectes y flors estaminals varia al llarg de cicles reproductors consecutius ...
