Missing Stigmas

One of my Imp. Meyer lemons has hundreds of blooms; most are setting fruit. A week or so ago I noticed that a couple of blossoms were missing stamens. I now see a few more. It wasn't noticed until the tree was already heavy with blossoms. Is this one of the ways the tree controls the amount of fruit that is produced? So far, there is hardly any drop of newly set fruit. A pic is attached; best I can do with an iPhone.
