The Andromonoecious Sex Determination Gene Predates the Separation of Cucumis and Citrullus Genera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Understanding the evolution of sex determination in plants requires the cloning and the characterization of sex determination genes. Monoecy is characterized by the presence of both male and female flowers on the same plant. Andromonoecy is characterized

Evolutionary lability of a complex life cycle in the aphid genus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Most aphid species complete their life cycle on the same set of host-plant species, but some (heteroecious species) alternate between different hosts, migrating from primary (woody) to secondary (herbaceous) host plants.

Sex Allocation in the Monoecious Herb Begonia semiovata [PDF]
Evolution, 1995 Sex-allocation models predict that the evolution of self-fertilization should result in a reduced allocation to male function and pollinator attraction in plants. The evolution of sex allocation may be constrained by both functional and genetic factors, however. We studied sex allocation and genetic variation for floral sex ratio and other reproductive

Mapping a Partial Andromonoecy Locus in Citrullus lanatus Using BSA-Seq and GWAS Approaches
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The sexual expression of watermelon plants is the result of the distribution and occurrence of male, female, bisexual and hermaphrodite flowers on the main and secondary stems. Plants can be monoecious (producing male and female flowers), andromonoecious

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.

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary We used domestication as an in vivo replicated experiment to investigate how divergent selection has shaped the evolution of multivariate phenotypic spaces. We measured 11–57 qualitative and quantitative traits in 13 species, either unique or shared between species, and established a framework for cross‐species comparisons. Our results revealed

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.

Functional monoecy due to delayed anther dehiscence: a novel mechanism in Pseuduvaria mulgraveana (Annonaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Unlike most genera in the early-divergent angiosperm family Annonaceae, Pseuduvaria exhibits a diversity of floral sex expression. Most species are structurally andromonoecious (or possibly androdioecious), although the hermaphroditic flowers have been ...

Plant Sex Prediction Using Genetic Markers in Cultivated Yams (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) in Benin
Agronomy, 2020 Dioscorea rotundata Poir. is mainly dioecious but it also produces monoecious individuals. Recently two genetic markers were proposed to determine the sex in this species.
