Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

Dioecious plants exhibit sexual dimorphism in both sexual features (reproductive organs)
and secondary sex characteristics (vegetative traits). Sexual differences in secondary traits …

Little is known about how sex differences in root zone characteristics, such as contents of
allelochemicals and soil microbial composition, mediate intra‐and intersexual interactions in …

Among herbivorous insects with a complete metamorphosis the larval and adult stages
usually differ considerably in their nutritional requirements and food ecology. Often, feeding …

Climate change, particularly increased aridity, poses a significant threat to plants and the
biotic communities they support. Dioecious species may be especially vulnerable to climate …

Microorganisms associated with the phyllosphere play a crucial role in protecting plants from
diseases, and their composition and diversity are strongly influenced by heavy metal …

Sex-related differences in reproductive effort can lead to differences in vegetative growth
and stress tolerance. However, do all dioecious plants show sex-related differences in stress …

Reference-quality genomes of both sexes are essential for studying sex determination and
sex-chromosome evolution, as their gene contents and expression profiles differ. Here, we …

Coevolution is among the most important evolutionary processes that generate biological
diversity. Plant–pollinator interactions play a prominent role in the evolution of reproductive …

Drought stress poses adverse influence on plant growth and further alters plant-herbivore
interactions. Such effect is enhanced as drought occurrence is reported to increase due to …
