Three closely linked X‐chromosomal genes potentially control sex determination in Cannabis sativa

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 505-522, July 2026.
Summary Sex determination mechanisms in dioecious plants remain poorly understood yet offer an excellent model system to study genetic changes underlying morphological evolution. We investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Cannabis sativa, combining quantitative trait locus mapping in a segregating population, comparative transcriptomics ...
