Involvement of ethylene biosynthesis and signalling in fruit set and early fruit development in zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) [PDF]
Background We have identified a kind of parthenocarpy in zucchini squash which is associated with an incomplete andromonoecy, i.e. a partial conversion of female into bisexual flowers.

Data from: Mating consequences of contrasting hermaphroditic plant sexual systems
For hermaphroditic angiosperms with multiple flowers the sex roles can be exclusively combined in bisexual flowers (monocliny), strictly separated among different flowers (monoecy), or arrayed in mixtures of bisexual flowers with female flowers ...

IntroductionThe carrot family (Apiaceae) is characterized by umbels with umbellets. Traditionally, these umbels are interpreted as inflorescences. Ontogenetic studies, however, indicate that they do not originate from inflorescence meristems but from ...

GENETIC INTERRELATIONS OF TWO ANDROMONOECIOUS TYPES OF MAIZE, DWARF AND ANTHER EAR [PDF]
Attention was called by Montgomery (1906)to the occasional appearance of perfect flowers in the staminate inflorescence of maize and similar cases were reported by Kempton (1913). Montgomery (1911) described with illustrations a true-breeding type of semi-dwarf dent maize, the ears of which were perfect-flowered.

Spatiotemporal variation in seed predation can act as a selective force on floral gender. The floral sex allocation of an alpine andromonoecious herb varied among local populations. Early‐flowering populations suffered from intensive seed predation by moth larvae, where male‐biased sex allocation was advantageous in reducing the risk of oviposition. In

The Effects of Myrtle Rust on Post‐Fire Regeneration of Myrtaceae in Australia
ABSTRACT Fire is an important factor influencing the evolution, structure and composition of Australia's native vegetation. Australia's many fire‐adapted species regenerate en masse after fire, with a proliferation of new epicormic shoots and seedlings.
