Evolution of distyly breakdown in Palicoureeae Robbr. & Manen and Psychotrieae Cham. & Schltdl. (Rubiaceae)

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Distyly is a floral polymorphism with reciprocal placement of male and female structures, heteromorphic self-incompatibility, and other ancillary traits. However, breeding system breakdowns and loss of polymorphism are common.

Plant Sex Prediction Using Genetic Markers in Cultivated Yams (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) in Benin

Agronomy, 2020
Dioscorea rotundata Poir. is mainly dioecious but it also produces monoecious individuals. Recently two genetic markers were proposed to determine the sex in this species.

Gender plasticity uncovers multiple sexual morphs in natural populations of Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) G. Don

Ecological Processes, 2021
Background The expression of gender in gymnosperms is challenging because the extent of variability in gender segregations in tree crowns and selection pressure of nature can modify the gender through time.

Probing the floral developmental stages, bisexuality and sex reversions in castor (Ricinus communis L.)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Castor (Ricinus communis L) is an ideal model species for sex mechanism studies in monoecious angiosperms, due to wide variations in sex expression. Sex reversion to monoecy in pistillate lines, along with labile sex expression, negatively influences ...

Fruit Development in Ficus carica L.: Morphological and Genetic Approaches to Fig Buds for an Evolution From Monoecy Toward Dioecy

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.

All pieces together now? A phylogenomic analysis and tribe‐level classification of the heterogeneous family Plantaginaceae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The plant family Plantaginaceae comprises approximately 2100 species in 106 genera, representing around 1% of all eudicots. The current circumscription of the family has been established in recent decades based on insights from DNA‐based phylogenetic analyses, which have united genera previously considered unrelated.

Phytohormone and integrated mRNA and miRNA transcriptome analyses and differentiation of male between hermaphroditic floral buds of andromonoecious Diospyros kaki Thunb

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) has various labile sex types, and studying its sex differentiation can improve breeding efficiency. However, studies on sexual regulation patterns in persimmon have focused mainly on monoecy and dioecy ...
