Anther structure and pollen development in species of Rubiaceae and anatomical evidence of pathway to morphological dioecy.

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
we conducted anatomical analysis of anthers with the aim to establish the differences in the development pattern of microsporophytes and microgametophytes between perfect and imperfect flowers in the tribe Gardenieae (Rubiaceae). The species studied were:

Molecular and genetic mechanisms conferring dissolution of dioecy in Diospyros oleifera Cheng

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Dioecy, a sexual system of single-sex (gynoecious/androecious) individuals, is rare in flowering plants. This rarity may be a result of the frequent transition from dioecy into systems with co-sex individuals.

A Foundational Population Genetics Investigation of the Sexual Systems of Solanum (Solanaceae) in the Australian Monsoon Tropics Suggests Dioecious Taxa May Benefit from Increased Genetic Admixture via Obligate Outcrossing

open access: yesPlants, 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.

Developing and Testing Molecular Markers in Cannabis sativa (Hemp) for Their Use in Variety and Dioecy Assessments

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Cannabis sativa (2n = 2x = 20) is a popular species belonging to the Cannabaceae family. Despite its use for medical, recreational, and industrial purposes as well as its long history, the genetic research on this species is in its infancy due to the ...

Revision of Tinospora (Menispermaceae - Chasmantheroideae - Burasaieae) in Singapore

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
The lianescent genus Tinospora Miers in Singapore is revised. Four species are recognised, two of which are newly described. Tinospora krispura I.M.Turner sp. nov. is known from Christmas Island and Singapore. Tinospora singapura I.M.Turner sp. nov.

Cryptic dioecy and leaky dioecy in endemic species of Dombeya (Sterculiaceae) on La Re´union [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 1999
The high frequency of dioecy on oceanic islands such as Hawaii and New Zealand has attracted a great deal of attention from plant evolutionary biologists. One reason suggested for the high prevalence of dioecy on oceanic islands is that taxa considered truly dioecious may have occasional hermaphrodite flowers, i.e., show leaky dioecy. In this study, we

Dioecy and the evolution of sex ratios in ants [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
Split sex ratios, when some colonies produce only male and others only female reproductives, is a common feature of social insects, especially ants. The most widely accepted explanation for split sex ratios was proposed by Boomsma and Grafen, and is driven by conflicts of interest among colonies that vary in relatedness.

The persimmon genome reveals clues to the evolution of a lineage-specific sex determination system in plants.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Most angiosperms bear hermaphroditic flowers, but a few species have evolved outcrossing strategies, such as dioecy, the presence of separate male and female individuals. We previously investigated the mechanisms underlying dioecy in diploid persimmon (D.

Notes on cauliflory, sexual dimorphism and biogeography in Drypetes (Putranjivaceae, Malpighiales) and a taxonomic treatment for D. gabonensis and two new cauliflorous threatened species from Central Africa, D. aphanes sp. nov. and D. cauta sp. nov.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
We present a preliminary discussion about cauliflory, sexual dimorphism and biogeographic patterns in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae Endl.), focused on Africa.

Pollen and anther development malfunction in distylous flowers of Palicourea padifolia (Rubiaceae)

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2020
Background: Heterostyly is a genetic polymorphism in which flowers differ between individual plants of a species in heights at which stamens and style are reciprocally positioned.
