ancestors (including monoecious plants with separate male and female flowers on the same …

Sex determination is a process that leads to the physical separation of male and female
gamete-producing structures to different individuals of a species. Even though sexually …

Twelve years ago a set of glycine-rich proteins (GRP) of plants were characterized and since
then a wealth of new GRPs have been identified. The highly specific but diverse expression …

The majority of the world's flowering plants are hermaphrodite but many of them encourage
