Kétlaki

Kétlaki is a Hungarian term used to describe a plant that has separate male and female flowers on different individuals. This characteristic is known as dioecy. In such plants, pollen must be transferred from a male plant to a female plant for fertilization and seed production to occur. This often necessitates the presence of both sexes within a population for successful reproduction. Many common plants exhibit this trait, including species like holly, willow, and asparagus. The prevalence of dioecy can influence the genetic diversity and population structure of a species, as well as the ecological interactions it has with pollinators and seed dispersers. Understanding the distribution of male and female indivíduos is important for conservation efforts and for agricultural practices involving these plants, as it can affect yield and fruit production.
