Biology:Trimonoecy

From HandWiki

Trimonoecy, also called polygamomonoecy or androgynomonoecy, is a sexual system in plants in which a single individual produces male, female, and hermaphroditic flowers simultaneously.[1] Trimonoecy is rare,[2] occurring in 0.025% of angiosperm species.[3]

It is a monomorphic sexual system along with monoecy, gynomonoecy, and andromonoecy. It is hypothesized that trimonoecy originated from gynomonoecy.[4]

Genetic basis

In melon, sex forms are controlled by three major genes: G/g (gynoecious), A/a (andromonecious) and M/m (male).[5] Mutations in M, which encodes an ACC synthase (ACS) involved in ethylene biosynthesis, causes female flowers to become hermaphroditic and the individual to become trimonoecious.[5] Similarly in Cucurbita pepo, mutating ACO1A, another ethylene biosynthesis gene, also promotes the conversion of female flowers to hermaphroditic flowers while male flowers remain unaffected, resulting in partial andromonoecy or trimonoecy.[6] Ethylene is a master regulator of sex determination in plants, including the cucurbits.[7]

Prevalence

Trimonoecy is present in 73 species across 44 genera and 29 families of angiosperms; 6.9% of all angiosperm families, including 20.0% of monocot families, are trimonoecious.[3] 80.3% of all trimonoecious species belong to the Superrosids or Superasterids.[3] No evidence of trimonoecy has been found in basal angiosperms or magnoliids.[3]
