Sex chromosomes in land plants can evolve as a consequence of close linkage between the
two sex determination genes with complementary dominance required to establish stable …

Unlike in animals, dioecy among flowering plants is a rare phenomenon. The vast majority of
angiosperm species have a bisexual flower that combines male (androecium) and female …

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was karyotyped using by DAPI/C-banding staining to provide
chromosome measurements, and by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes for 45 …

We recently described, in Cannabis sativa, the oldest sex chromosome system documented
so far in plants (12–28 Myr old). Based on the estimated age, we predicted that it should be …

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a dioecious shrub commonly used in the
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and environmental industry as a source of oil, minerals and …

Humulus lupulus L.(hop) is a dioecious climbing plant of which the females bear particular
inflorescences, called hops,'cones' or 'strobiles', made of a series of membranaceous bracts …

The independent evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in 19 species from 4 families
of flowering plants permits studying X/Y divergence after the initial recombination …

Abstract Background Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is cultivated for its cones, the secondary
metabolites of which contribute bitterness, flavour and aroma to beer. Molecular breeding …

Dioecy is relatively rare in plants and sex determination systems vary among such species.
A good example of a plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes is hop (Humulus lupulus) …

Key message Two QTL were identified using linkage map** approaches, one on hop
linkage group 3 (qHl_Chr3. PMR1) associated with powdery mildew resistance and a …
