Abstract Sex determination in cucumber is the most extensively studied subject. Three major genes (F/f, M/m and A/a) have been described that control sex in cucumber. In addition to these genes, environmental and hormonal factors also influence the sex in cucumber plants. Because of its direct influence on sex expression ethylene is considered as a sex hormone of cucumber. In relation to the sex hormone ethylene, the assumed role of the sex-determining F/f, M/m and A/a genes is that the F/f gene controls the level of ethylene; the M/m gene influences ethylene perception and signaling and the A/a gene may control the level of ethylene biosynthesis, perception and signaling.
