Post-pollination sepal longevity of female flower co-regulated by energy-associated multiple pathways in dioecious spinach

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Reproductive growth is a bioenergetic process with high energy consumption. Pollination induces female flower longevity in spinach by accelerating sepal retention and development. Cellular bioenergetics involved in cellular growth is at the foundation of

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

Plants, 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 ...

Incidence, correlates, and origins of dioecy in the Island Flora of New Caledonia [PDF]

, 2014
Premise of research. Because it is an inherently risky sexual system, dioecy is globally rare. Attempts to explain unusually high incidences of dioecy on certain islands have generated a considerable literature on the relationships among dioecy, its ...

The wild grape genome sequence provides insights into the transition from dioecy to hermaphroditism during grape domestication

Genome Biology, 2020
A key step in domestication of the grapevine was the transition from separate sexes (dioecy) in wild Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris (V. sylvestris) to hermaphroditism in cultivated Vitis vinifera ssp. sativa (V. vinifera). It is known that V.

Is the High Proportion of Males in a Population of the Self-Incompatible Fraxinus platypoda (Oleaceae) Indicative of True Androdioecy or Cryptic-Dioecy?

Plants, 2022
Androdioecy is a rare reproductive system. Fraxinus platypoda, a woody canopy species in Japan’s mountainous riparian zones, is described as a morphologically androdioecious species. In this study, we tried to detect whether F.

Phylogenetic insights into the correlates of dioecy in meadow-rues (Thalictrum, Ranunculaceae) [PDF]

Numerous studies have examined the evolution of sexual systems in angiosperms, but few explore the interaction between these and the evolution of pollination mode.

Salix gordejevii females exhibit more resistance against wind erosion than males under aeolian environment

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.

Dicliny in Bouteloua (Poaceae: Chloridoideae): Implications for the Evolution of Dioecy [PDF]

, 2007
The New World grass genus Bouteloua (Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) comprises 57 species, 13 of which produce unisexual spikelets and hence are diclinous. Andromonoecy, gynodioecy, monoecy, trimonoecy, and dioecy all occur in the genus, and ten species are ...

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 ...
