a Sexual phenotype of a monoecious plant (Mono_WT), and ein2 splicing mutants (−/−). b Sexual phenotype of pistillate flowers of WT and ein2 heterozygous mutants (+/−). Sg, stigma; st, stamen. Scale bars in (a, b) = 0.5 cm. c Schematic of sexual morphs. d Relative ratio of female, or hermaphrodite flowers, per total carpel-bearing flowers. Data are mean ± SE. (n  =  3 biological replicates). e Triple response phenotype of melon genotypes in absent (−Ethylene), and presence of ethylene (+Ethylene). The photography is taken 7 days after germination. Scale bars = 1 cm. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
