Most species of angiosperms produce hermaphroditic flowers. The unisexuality in some plants most often results from developmentally programmed abortion or selective reduction in sex organ primordia. In dicots, higher levels of auxins, cytokinins, and ethylene usually correlate with female sex expression and in most of them the femaleness is mainly promoted by ethylene. ... [Pg.113]

The Annonaceae consist of trees, shrubs, or lianas with simple, alternate, entire, pin-nately veined, typically distichous leaves (Cronquist, 1993). Often, the leaves possess secretory cells. The flowers are solitary or in various sorts of mostly basically cymose inflorescences, mostly entomophilous. The flowers are perfect or rarely unisexual. The petals are commonly trimerous perianths sepals (2) 3 (4) petals commonly come in six or two series of three (Cronquist, 1993). The seeds are often arillate, X = 7, 8,9. [Pg.180]

The flowers of most species in this family are small, yellow, and aromatic. Some species have bisexual flowers containing both male and female organs. Some species have unisexual flowers, with each flower having either male organs or female organs. Some species are polygamous, in that individuals have some flowers which are bisexual, and others that are unisexual. [Pg.75]

Unisexual—Flowers that bear either male or female reproductive organs. [Pg.76]

The mulberry family occurs primarily in tropical and semi-tropical regions, and includes a wide variety of herbs, shrubs, and trees, characterized by a milky sap and reduced, unisexual flowers. This family includes 40 gen-... [Pg.447]

Palm flowers are occasionally bisexual, but usually they are unisexual. When unisexual, the flowers of each sex may be on the same plant or, as in humans, only one sex is found per individual. The flowers are small and are generally borne on large, many-branched stems (inflorescences) that are located within the crown or Jirst below it Flower parts are normally in threes. The pollination biology of palms is not well studied, nevertheless, both wind and insect pollinaticn ate ccnrmcn in the family. [Pg.742]

The papaya is dioecious, that is unisexual, for male and female flowers are borne by separate plants. The flowers are yellow and sweet-smelling and open at night to attract moths, the pollinators of the papaya. [Pg.749]

Moreover, the much-discussed Early Cretaceous fossil angiosperm Archae-fructus (Archaefructaceae) and the recently recognized extant near-basal angiosperm Trithuria (Hydatellaceae) are unhelpfully ambivalent in both senses (Rudall et al., 2008 Rudall and Bateman, 2010). The reproductive truss of Archaefructus has been interpreted as being either a single flower lacking axial condensation (Sun et al., 2002) or an inflorescence of several unisexual flowers, the males... [Pg.11]
