In general, cultivated grapevines are monoecious (male and female flowers on the same plant), while wild vines are dioecious (separate on different plants). The cultivated monoecious vine has hermaphroditic flowers (hermaphrodites), meaning that the male and female sexual organs are united in one flower. Purely female wild vines have played an important role in the development of grape varieties.
