The role of PCD in sexual dimorphism of dioecious Spinacia oleracea L.
The formation of non-hermaphroditic, i.e. male or female, flowers is a rare event in the plant kingdom. S. oleracea provides an ideal unisexual floral developmental system for studying the structural development of floral organs.

Structure and development of flowers and inflorescences in Peraceae and Euphorbiaceae and the evolution of pseudanthia in Malpighiales. [PDF]
Pseudanthia are reduced and compact inflorescences which apparently had independent evolution in Euphorbiaceae and Peraceae within Malpighiales. In order to analyze the hypothesis that the different pseudanthia found in Malpighiales have non-homologous ...

A novel mutation in ACS11 leads to androecy in cucumber
Sex determination in plants gives rise to unisexual flowers. A better understanding of the regulatory mechanism underlying the production of unisexual flowers will help to clarify the process of sex determination in plants and allow researchers and ...

Reproductive biology of the biofuel plant Jatropha curcas in its center of origin [PDF]
In this work, we studied the main characteristics of flowering, reproductive system and diversity of pollinators for the biofuel plant Jatropha curcas (L.) in a site of tropical southeastern Mexico, within its center of origin. The plants were monoecious

Untargeted Metabolomic Analyses Reveal Chemical Complexity of Dioecious Cannabis Flowers [PDF]
Cannabis is a mostly dioecious multi-use flowering plant genus. Sexual dimorphism is an important characteristic in Cannabis-based commercial production systems, which has consequences for fibre, seed, and the yield of secondary metabolites, such as ...
