Dioecy (also called dioïcous) is the biological condition of having separate male and female individuals. The word comes from Ancient Greek diaioktos, meaning "having two forms", which refers to plants that have separate male and female flowers, such as those of the cabbage family. Though it may seem that a plant would need two individuals if it has both male and female flowers, there are a number of types of plant species where this structure can produce berries or capsules that unite to become a single individual with both reproductive structures.

A simple method to recollect the implications of dioecious and monoecious is to look to the Greek prefixes di, which implies two, and mono, which implies one. With dioecious species, a few plants of the species have just the male regenerative organs, or stamens, while different plants of the species have just female conceptive parts, or pistils. As it were, the plant species being referred to has particular male and female individuals. With monoecious species, each plant has a few blossoms with stamens and a few blossoms with pistils.

Viable Differences
At the point when the plants being referred to are dioecious plants, you should have at any rate one relating male plant developing in or around your arranging for the natural product bearing female plants to be pollinated. For instance, holly bushes (Ilex) are dioecious plants. To get great berry creation from a 'Blue Princess' holly bush, you have to supply a male cultivar to do the pollinating.
This normally brings up the issue of how to distinguish the sexual orientations. Quality nursery communities plainly name their dioecious plants so you realize whether you're purchasing a female or a male cultivar. All things considered, it is smarter to have the option to distinguish a male holly from a female holly (or some other dioecious plant) all alone, just in the event that the nursery community where you shop commits an error in naming or on the off chance that you make them exist plants on your property that should prove to be fruitful yet don't.
