Sources of parthenocarpy for Zucchini breeding: relationship with ethylene production and sensitivity [PDF]
Parthenocarpy is becoming an essential trait for off-season greenhouse production of Zucchini squash. Given that winter conditions promote a reduction in the number of male flowers and in the activity of pollinators, the application of synthetic auxins ...

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.

Determination of Relative Auxin Content in Hermaphrodite and Andromonoecious Cucumis sativus L. [PDF]
A cau.sal relationship between growth substances and sex expression probably exists in Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber). This.assumption is based on a number of publications which documented a shift towards femaleness in monoe,cious cucumbers treated with auxins (8), or with growth retardants (16).

Natural Cross Pollination in Four Andromonoecious Seedling Marker Lines of Muskmelon1
Abstract Natural cross pollination was studied with virescent (v), yellow-green (yg), glabrous (g) and halo (h) muskmelon mutants. The average percent crossing was 8.9,7.6,5.1, and 6.0, respectively. The variation was from 0.0 to less than 20%, except for one fruit with 30%.

Sexual Dimorphism in the Andromonoecious Euphorbia nicaeensis: Effects of Gender and Inflorescence Development [PDF]
In andromonoecious taxa with separate floral types along the inflorescence, architectural or plastic effects can simulate floral sexual dimorphism. Both the primary and secondary sexual characteristics of the cyathia of the protogynous andromonoecious species Euphorbia nicaeensis were analysed according to their sex and arrangement on the inflorescence.
