Abstract
Staminate flowers induced on gynoecious plants permitted the establishment and increase of inbred lines bearing only pistillate flowers. This method of altering sex expression has practical applications in developing F 1 hybrids, and is useful in studying the physiology and genetics of sex expression.Keywords
