Floral Aromatics of Ptelea: Chemical Identification and Human Response
Many members of the citrus family (Rutaceae) are valued for the aromatic compounds emitted by their flowers. Ptelea species are unusually cold-hardy members of the Rutaceae, but conflicting descriptions of the fragrance of their unisexual flowers may ...

Sterility Caused by Floral Organ Degeneration and Abiotic Stresses in Arabidopsis and Cereal Grains
Natural floral organ degeneration or abortion results in unisexual or fully sterile flowers, while abiotic stresses lead to sterility after initiation of floral reproductive organs.

Flower Development and Sex Determination between Male and Female Flowers in Vernicia fordii
Vernicia fordii is a monoecious and diclinous species with male and female flowers on the same inflorescence. Low female to male flower ratio is one of the main reasons for low yield in this species. However, little is known of its floral development and

A sexually dimorphic corolla appendage affects pollen removal and floral longevity in gynodioecious Cyananthus delavayi (Campanulaceae). [PDF]
The floral traits of bisexual flowers may evolve in response to selection on both male and female functions, but the relative importance of selection associated with each of these two aspects is poorly resolved.

The Myanmar amber fossil Endobeuthos paleosum was originally described as composed of an individual flower with a calyx of numerous, helically arranged sepals, a whorl of petals, and 60+ stamens each bearing a single bisporangiate anther. The 6 flowers, embedded together in a single block of amber, were described as varying in their calyx pubescence ...

Sex-Specific Cell Division during Development of Unisexual Flowers in the Dioecious Plant Silene latifolia [PDF]
We analyzed cell division patterns during the differentiation of unisexual flowers of the dioecious plant Silene latifolia using in situ hybridization with histone H4 and cyclin A1 genes. The gene expression patterns indicated that the activation of cell divisions in whorls 3 and 4 was reversed in young male and female flower buds. During maturation of

Cucumber SUPERMAN has conserved function in stamen and fruit development and a distinct role in floral patterning. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis SUPERMAN (SUP) gene encodes a C2H2 type zinc finger protein that is required for maintaining the boundaries between stamens and carpels, and for regulating development of ovule outer integument. Orthologs of SUP have been characterized in
