Dichogamy and Sexual Dimorphism in Floral Traits in the Andromonoecious Euphorbia boetica [PDF]
Euphorbia boetica (Euphorbiaceae) is a functional andromonoecious species that shows both intra- and interfloral dichogamy, hermaphrodite cyathia being protogynous. Sexual dimorphism of the cyathia of E. boetica is examined according to their gender and arrangement on the inflorescence.Data were obtained from two natural populations, where the ...

FLORAL SEX RATIOS IN ANDROMONOECIOUS UMBELLIFERAE [PDF]
SUMMARYThe distribution of hermaphrodite and male flowers was determined in the inflorescences of three andromonoecious species of Umbelliferae, Smyrnium olusatrum, Pastinaca sativa and Anthriscus sylvestris. Despite wide differences in the number of flowers produced per plant by the three species the floral ratio 4 male to 1 hermaphrodite was ...

Summary Domestication and improvement are two important stages in crop evolution. Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop with wide phenotypic diversity in many horticultural traits, especially fruit size, flesh thickness and aroma, which are likely the results of long‐term extensive selection during its evolution.
