Responsa for Ketubot 98:3

ואיבעית אימא ר' יוחנן בן ברוקא והכי קאמר אינו חייב במזונות בתו והוא הדין לבנו והוא הדין דאפילו מצוה נמי ליכא ואיידי דבנות לאחר מיתת אביהן חובה תנא נמי אינו חייב

And if you wish I might say that the mishnah accords with R. Yohanan b. Beroka, and this is what he meant: the father is not obligated to sustain his daughter, and the same law applies to his son; and there is not even a moral duty and since it teaches [in a later clause] that it is an obligation to sustain them after his death, it also taught here that he is not obligated.
