Hundreds of land plant lineages have independently evolved separate sexes in either
gametophytes (dioicy) or sporophytes (dioecy), but 43% of all dioecious angiosperms are …

In species with genetic sex-determination, the chromosomes carrying the sex-determining
genes have often evolved non-recombining regions and subsequently evolved the full set of …

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant
species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly …

Dioecy, the presence of male and female flowers on separate individuals, is both
widespread and uncommon within flowering plants, with only a few percent of dioecious …

Levels and patterns of genetic diversity can provide insights into a population's history. In
species with sex chromosomes, differences between genomic regions with unique …

The cultivated garden strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) has a rich history, originating from
the hybridization of two wild octoploid strawberry species in the 18th century. Two‐step …

Sexual system is a key determinant of genetic variation and reproductive success, affecting
evolution within populations and within clades. Much research in plants has focused on …

Levels and patterns of genetic diversity can provide insights into a population's history. In
species with sex chromosomes, differences between genomic regions with unique …

When sex chromosomes stop recombining, they start to accumulate differences. The sex-
limited chromosome (Y or W) especially is expected to degenerate via the loss of nucleotide …

Mulberry is an economically important plant in the sericulture industry and traditional
medicine. However, the genetic and evolutionary history of mulberry remains largely …
