Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Effects of wind erosion on growth and adaptability have been widely reported in many plants, but little attention has been paid to dioecious plants. Recent studies have shown that sex-specific responses to environmental changes in many plants exist.

High incidence and correlates of dioecy in the flora of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Arctic Science, 2017 In comparing the incidence of dioecy in North American floras, we report a strong, positive correlation with increasing latitude. Dioecy in the High Arctic is highly correlated with woodiness, as elsewhere.

Reproductive biology of two Lagenaria (Curcubitaceae) species
Botanica, 2022 The genus Lagenaria (Cucurbitaceae) members are underutilised, neglected and on the verge of being threatened to extinction. An investigation of their reproductive biology will serve as the basis for effective strategic planning towards their ...

Translocation heterozygosity in southern African species of Viscum
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1980 Sex-associated and floating translocation complexes are characteristic of dioecious species of Viscum, but are virtually absent in monoecious species.

Sex is determined by XY chromosomes across the radiation of dioecious Nepenthes pitcher plants
Evolution Letters, 2019 Species with separate sexes (dioecy) are a minority among flowering plants, but dioecy has evolved multiple times independently in their history. The sex‐determination system and sex‐linked genomic regions are currently identified in a limited number of ...

Notes on the floral sexuality of some species of the tree genus Triplaris (Polygonaceae)
Caldasia, 2021 The majority of angiosperms (~94 %) are synoecious, with only a small minority separating the pro-duction of the two gamete types onto different biological individuals (dioecy).

Pollination ecology of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C.B. Robinson (Lauraceae): A commercially and medicinally important semi-evergreen tree species [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019 Litsea glutinosa is a semi-evergreen wet season blooming tree species. It is a dioecious plant characterized by separate staminate and pistillate trees occurring in a 3:1 ratio.

Molecular evidence for recent divergence of X- and Y-linked gene pairs in Spinacia oleracea L.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Dioecy has evolved recently and independently from cosexual populations in many angiosperm lineages, providing opportunities to understand the evolutionary process underlying this transition.

Poplar Sex-Determining Gene Directly Affects Tree Growth Through Regulating Cytokinin Signalling Pathway. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Sex separation in dioecious plants is triggered by the sex‐determining gene, which primarily drives sexual dimorphism in reproductive organs. However, whether the plant sex‐determining gene directly affects plant growth remains controversial.

Anatomy and fruit development in Schinopsis balansae (Anacardiaceae)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2010 Schinopsis balansae Engl. is a dioecious tree; reproduction is by woody samaras containing a single seed. Fruit set is high, even in isolated trees, empty fruits are frequent and account for a high proportion of the total fruit production.
