and one more thing about the sex thing,
if dioecious plants did evolve from herme's, then that should mean that you could, over time, use breeding practices to encourage that gene. weeding out the hermes would seem to be a good thing to me. then if i could induce a true gynoecious specimen into a male and produce true gynoecious seed. it should be possible to get female seeds with no hermie and no male probability.
i hope this is possible. i know i am just beginning a long journey of learning about breeding. i can take classes for free at the university due to my position, so i think i might take a plant physiology class. just to help out. at any rate, i am just gonna learn as i go. . . nothing like hands on training to bump the learning curve.
