Abstract
Abstract Ethephon applied as a foliar spray caused an androecious (all-male) line of Cucumis sativus L. to produce pistillate flowers analogous to those of monoecious phenotypes. The degree of conversion depended on the concentration of ethephon and stage of growth at the time of application. In the greenhouse, a concentration of 50 ppm applied at the 3- or 4-leaf stage was the best treatment for induction of pistillate flowers without marked inhibition of growth.
