Polypeptide variant of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (8 acs8)； polynucleotide that encodes； Cell； procedure for obtaining androica plant of the Cucurbitaceae Family which includes Variant acs8 procedure； and identification of the plant
Plants of the Cucurbitaceae family and seeds of such plants with an androecious phenotype, whereas this sexual type is not natural in the plants, and the use of the plants and of the plant seeds of the invention. Moreover, the nucleic acid sequence responsible for androecy in the plants of the invention and on the polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid sequence. Finally, methods of identifying the plants and the seeds.POLIPÉPTIDO VARIANTE DE ACS8 QUE TIENE UNA ACTIVIDAD MENOR QUE LA PROTEÍNA NO MODIFICADA, POLINUCLEOTIDO QUE LO CODIFICA, CÉLULA VEGETAL QUE LO COMPRENDE, PROCEDIMIENTO DE OBTENCIÓN DE PLANTA ANDROICA DE LA FAMILIA DE LAS CUCURBITÁCEAS QUE COMPRENDE UNA VARIANTE DE ACS8, Y PROCEDIMIENTO DE IDENTIFICACIÓN DE DICHA PLANTA.
