Subject: Gender Manipulation?

We were having a discussion about the manipulation of plant genders and
it was suggested that one of the properties of Gibberellic Acid was to
change the gender of the treated plant (e.g., a male treated with
Gibberellic would develop female flowers and fruit).  Grafting from a
male to a female was also suggested as a possilblity of maintaining the
properties of the male donor while "cloning" it into a female.

If anyone has any experience with gender manipulation I'd appreciate
hearing from them.
