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 ...

Adaptation of the autosomal part of the genome on the presence of dioecy
bioRxiv, 2021 We have attempted to answer the question of whether the presence of sex chromosomes in the genome can affect the evolution of the autosomal part of the genome. As a model, we used dioecious plants from the section Otites of the genus Silene.

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.

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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The mechanism behind the bud evolution towards breba or main crop in Ficus carica L. is uncertain. Anatomical and genetic studies may put a light on the possible similarities/differences between the two types of fruits.

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 ...
