SUMMARY The sex of dioecious plants is mainly determined by genetic factors, but it can also be converted by environmental cues such as exogenous phytohormones. Gibberellic acids (GAs) are well‐known inducers of flowering and sexual development, yet the pathway of gibberellin‐induced sex conversion...
