BENGALURU: Sex ratio disparity is not just confined to humans. It is also affecting flowering pattern in fruit-bearing plants, say botanists.
Unlike in humans where the disparity is self-caused, in plants, it is largely driven by climatic changes and the most recent victim of this worrying trend affecting flowering and fruiting, is mango. Adding to the woes, the hailstorm and prolonged cloudy conditions in the past few weeks are threatening to wipe out the last standing mango crop around Bengaluru.
