Genes controlling sex expression

  • Chapter
Genetic control of self-incompatibility and reproductive development in flowering plants

Part of the book series: Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants ((CMBP,volume 2))

Abstract

The term ‘sex expression’ can have two quite different meanings in plants. On the one hand it can refer to male and female individuals and in this case it can be used only for dioecious species. If it is taken, however, in a broader sense, it can also apply to single flowers in monoecious plants or even to female or male sex organs in a hermaphroditic flower.
