Disclosed is a method for the production of a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family by mutating seeds to induce a mutation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 8 (ACS8) and growing a plant from the mutated seed, with the plant having a androecy or androecious tendency.

Methods of obtaining androecious cucurbit plants

Plants of the Cucurbitaceae family and seeds of such plants with an androecious phenotype, whereas this sexual type is not natural in the plants, and the use of the plants and of the plant seeds of the invention. Moreover, the nucleic acid sequence responsible for androecy in the plants of the invention and on the polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid sequence. Finally, methods of identifying the plants and the seeds.

Androecious cucurbit plants, methods of obtaining and uses of said cucurbit plants

A genetic system for controlling the type of floral development of a dicotyledon plant, includes the combination of two genetic control elements, respectively:
