摘要：

Melandrium album (Silene alba) is a dioecious species showing a clear-cut correlation between the phenotypic sex and the presence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes. The paper reviews basic aspects on taxonomy and flowering, concentrating on classical and more recent experiments on sex conversion: hormonal balance in planta or in vitro, interactions with the fungus Ustilago violacea, haploid production from anthers, induction of sex chromosomal aberrations via crosses between polyploids and interspecific crosses, isolation of sexual mutants through pollen irradiation, etc. The experimental data is used to discuss the current understanding of sex determination in this species. The phenotypic and genetic characteristics of Melandrium are underlined and enable alternative and complementary cloning strategies for genes involved in sex determination and differentiation.
