Genetic insights into the dissolution of dioecy in diploid persimmon Diospyros oleifera Cheng
BackgroundDioecy, a sexual system of single-sexual (gynoecious/androecious) individuals, is rare in flowering plants. This rarity may be a result of...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of gynoecious and monoecious inflorescences reveals regulators involved in male flower development in the woody perennial plant Jatropha curcas
Key messageABCE model genes along with genes related to GA biosynthesis and auxin signalling may play significant roles in male flower development in ...

Candidate gene based SSR and SNP markers for gynoecy in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.)
BackgroundEven though the bitter gourd hybrids are shown to have significant heterosis for many of the economic traits, processes such as manual...

Utilization of marker-assisted backcrossing to generate new gynoecious cucumber lines with genetic heritage similar to the indigenous Vietnamese cucumber
The marker-assisted backcrossing (MAB) can help to transfer an interested allele at a target locus from a donor to a recipient line. Gynoecious is a...

Interspecific hybridization between sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica L.) and ‘Satputia’ (Luffa hermaphrodita Singh & Bhandari) for pre-introgression of cluster bearing, high yield and gynoecism
Interspecific hybridization with ‘Satputia’ (bisexual and cluster bearing) can be highly useful for the introgression of cluster bearing, high yield...

A multivariate analysis of morphological divergence of “seeds” (achenes) among ruderal, fibre, oilseed, dioecious/monoecious and marijuana variants of Cannabis sativa L.
Cannabis sativa has been domesticated for stem fibre and oilseed (the two classes are both low in the euphoric cannabinoid THC and called “hemp”),...
