Silene latifolia is a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes that have originated
only ∼10 million years ago and is a promising model organism to study sex chromosome …

Bt protein content in transgenic insect resistant (Bt) maize may vary between tissues within
plants and between plants growing under different environmental conditions. However, it is …

We propose a probabilistic framework to infer autosomal and sex-linked genes from RNA-seq
data of a cross for any sex chromosome type (XY, ZW, and UV). Sex chromosomes (…

A novel weed has recently emerged, causing serious agronomic damage in one of the most
important maize-growing regions of Western Europe, the Northern Provinces of Spain. The …

About 15,000 angiosperm species (∼6%) have separate sexes, a phenomenon known as
dioecy. Why dioecious taxa are so rare is still an open question. Early work reported lower …

Separate sexes and sex-biased gene expression have repeatedly evolved in animals and
plants, but the underlying changes in gene expression remain unknown. Here, we studied a …

Quaternary glaciations have played a major role in shaping the genetic diversity and distribution
of plant species. Strong palaeoecological and genetic evidence supports a postglacial …

reuteri From the Chicken Gastrointestinal Tract Skip to main content Top bar navigation …

Sex chromosomes have repeatedly evolved from a pair of autosomes. Consequently, X and
Y chromosomes initially have similar gene content, but ongoing Y degeneration leads to …

Steep environmental gradients provide ideal settings for studies of potentially adaptive
phenotypic and genetic variation in plants. The accurate timing of flowering is crucial for …
