Do All Plants Have Sexes at James Givan blog

Do All Plants Have Sexes. There is a series of steps that plants go through to create offspring. Among hermaphroditic plants (also called monoecious plants), there are species that have perfect flowers (flowers that have both male and female parts) and species where each individual plant has separate male and female flowers. While it may only be a vaguely similar process to the sex participated in by humans and animals, plants engage in sexual reproduction quite often. Some plants (like asparagus, plum trees and holly bushes) have completely separate sexes (all the flowers on an individual plant each produce only sperm or eggs). Asexual reproduction in plants involves a variety of widely disparate methods for producing new plants identical in every respect to the parent. Reproduction in plants is either asexual or sexual. Dioecious plants, though, do have separate sexes. However, most plants are monoecious, meaning that individuals have both female and male structures. In flowering plants, these structures can be borne together in a single bisexual flower, or the flowers can be only male (staminate) or only female (pistillate). Charles darwin recognized that flowering plants have an unrivalled diversity of sexual systems.
