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 ...

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.

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 ...

Terrestrial gastropods - how do they reproduce? [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2017 Molluscs are the most diverse group in respect of sexual systems and strategies. They can be dioecious with separate sexes or hermaphroditic. Within hermaphroditism, it is possible to distinguish a number of modifications of this type of reproduction ...

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).

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.

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.

The ecology, evolution, and biogeography of dioecy in the genus Solanum: With paradigms from the strong dioecy in Solanum polygamum, to the unsuspected and cryptic dioecy in Solanum conocarpum [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2015 • Premise of the study: Island plants are over‐exploited and “under‐explored.” Understanding the reproductive biology of plants, especially rare species, is fundamental to clarifying their evolution, estimating potential for change, and for creating effective conservation plans. Clarification of sexual systems like dioecy, and unusual manifestations of

Altitudinal variation of the sex ratio and segregation by gender in the dioecious plant Mercurialis perennis L. (Euphorbiaceae) in Serbia [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007 The sex ratio is one of the most intriguing problems for evolutionary biologists. Spatio-temporal variation of male frequency in sexually dimorphic plant species, spatial segregation, and differential investment of the two sex functions have attracted ...
