We recently cloned the andromonoecy gene from melon using a positional cloning and TILLING approach, and identified it as an 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS) gene,

To isolate the andromonoecy gene in cucumber we used a candidate gene approach in combination with genetical and biochemical analysis.

It has been suggested that andromonoecy is selected to permit flexibility in resource allocation to male and female function, and is thus found in species where fruit set is resource-limited

CsACS2 like CmACS-7 is specifically expressed in buds determined to develop a carpel in carpel primordia and, like in melon, loss-of-function mutations, located near the active site of CsACS2 are associated with andromonoecy.

In melon, we recently showed that the transition from monoecy to andromonoecy result from a mutation in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS) gene,
