The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

The quest for molecular regulation underlying unisexual flower development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the making of a unisexual flower has been a long-standing quest in plant biology. Plants with male and female flowers can be divided mainly into two categories: dioecious and monoecious, and ...

Characteristics of Sex Expression in Monoecious Persimmons.
Engei Gakkai zasshi, 1992 A persimmon (Diospyros kaki) tree may manifest three types of flowers; female, male, and perfect (hermaphrodite). Most cultivars bear only female flowers but others have both female and male and sometimes perfect flowers as well. In monoecious or polygamous cultivars, sex expression has been observed to be modified by the previous year's fruit load and

Sexual systems in the New Zealand angiosperm flora
, 2022 We present data on sexual systems and associated traits in the New Zealand angiosperm flora and discuss reasons for the anomalously high levels of gender dimorphism in the flora, and the low levels of monoecy in woody species.

Rate of Natural Outcrossing in Monoecious Cucumbers
HortScience, 1985 Abstract The rate of natural outcrossing in cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) was measured at 3 locations in North Carolina, using the dominant allele for scab resistance as the marker gene. Outcrossing was measured within and between 1.5 m plots in isolation blocks.

Contents and Recovery of Gibberellins in Monoecious and Gynoecious Cucumber Plants [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1968 Diffusates from seedlings and root exudates from 6-week-old plants of a monoecious line of cucumber, Cucumis sativus L., contained considerably higher levels of gibberellin-(GA-) like substances than did those from plants of an isogenic gynoecious line.

Sex‐specific ethylene responses drive floral sexual plasticity in Cannabis sativa
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.SUMMARY Cannabis sativa L. exhibits pronounced sexual plasticity in which both XX and XY plants can undergo floral phenotypic sex reversal in response to ethylene modulation, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we present the most extensive multi‐omic analysis of ethylene‐induced sex change in C.

Dicliny in Bouteloua (Poaceae: Chloridoideae): Implications for the Evolution of Dioecy
, 2007 The New World grass genus Bouteloua (Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) comprises 57 species, 13 of which produce unisexual spikelets and hence are diclinous. Andromonoecy, gynodioecy, monoecy, trimonoecy, and dioecy all occur in the genus, and ten species are ...

Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.
