Phylogenetic Analysis of Dioecy in Monocotyledons [PDF]
American Naturalist, 2000 Surveys of plant breeding systems in angiosperm families have shown a significant association between monoecy and dioecy, and researchers have proposed that dioecy has tended to evolve from monoecy. We evaluated this hypothesis in the context of a phylogeny of 918 monocotyledons assembled from 19 published trees.

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Sex determination in dioecious plants has been broadly and progressively studied with the blooming of genome sequencing and editing techniques. This provides us with a great opportunity to explore the evolution and genetic mechanisms underlining the sex ...

Rodriguésia, 2022 Several possible correlations between dioecy and eco-morphological features have been suggested to infer the conditions that would favor this sexual system. Dioecy has been associated either with specialized or generalized pollination systems.

The Diversity and Dynamics of Sex Determination in Dioecious Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The diversity of inflorescences among flowering plants is captivating. Such charm is not only due to the variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and flowers displayed, but also to the range of reproductive systems. For instance, hermaphrodites occur abundantly

Functional Dioecy and Andromonoecy in Solanum [PDF]
Evolution, 1989 Field and laboratory studies of 19 diclinous species endemic to Australia help to clarify the nature and evolution of andromonoecy, androdioecy, and dioecy in the genus Solanum. Ten species are andromonoecious; typically these species bear inflorescences with a single, large basal hermaphroditic flower and 12-60 distal, smaller staminate flowers.

Plants, 2022 The vegetative and reproductive growth of plants provide the basic tempo for an ecosystem, and when species are interdependent, phenology becomes crucial to regulating the quantity and quality of the interactions. In plant–insect interactions, the plants

Quaternary, 2023 Nowadays, wild grapevine populations are quite limited and sporadic mainly due to habitat destruction, land-use change, and the spread of pathogens that have reduced their distribution range.

The rapid dissolution of dioecy by experimental evolution [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Evolutionary transitions from hermaphroditism to dioecy have been common in flowering plants,1,2 but recent analysis also points to frequent reversions from dioecy to hermaphroditism.2-4 Here, we use experimental evolution to expose a mechanism for such reversions, validating an explanation for the scattered phylogenetic distribution of dioecy.

Plants, 2023 Solanum section Leptostemonum is an ideal lineage to test the theoretical framework regarding proposed evolutionary benefits of outcrossing sexual systems in comparison to cosexuality.
