Gibberellin (GA), benzyladenine (BA), and maleic hydrazide (MH) promoted formation of female flowers in Momordica charantia L. GA was most effective. Low concentration of 2-chloroethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CCC) showed femineity, whereas high concentration showed a masculinizing effect. The effects of different concentrations of GA, BA, MH and CCC on flowering and sex expression are discussed. HA should not be considered as a general male sex hormone for all cucurbits.
