Molecular mapping of genomic regions and identification of possible candidate genes associated with gynoecious sex expression in bitter gourd [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Bitter gourd is an important vegetable crop grown throughout the tropics mainly because of its high nutritional value. Sex expression and identification of gynoecious trait in cucurbitaceous vegetable crops has facilitated the hybrid breeding programme ...

Labile sex expression in angiosperm species with sex chromosomes. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2022 Here, we review the literature on sexual lability in dioecious angiosperm species with well-studied sex chromosomes. We distinguish three types of departures from strict dioecy, concerning either a minority of flowers in some individuals (leakiness) or the entire individual, which can constantly be bisexual or change sex. We found that for only four of

Sex, sex chromosomes and gene expression [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2011 The X chromosome has fewer testis-specific genes than autosomes in many species. This bias is commonly attributed to X inactivation in spermatogenesis but a recent paper in BMC Biology provides evidence against X inactivation in Drosophila and proposes ...

Sex Hormones Regulate SHANK Expression [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a higher prevalence in male individuals compared to females, with a ratio of affected boys compared to girls of 4:1 for ASD and 11:1 for Asperger syndrome.

Comparative Patterns of Sex Expression and Sex Ratios in Island and Continental Bryophyte Populations [PDF]
PlantsReproductive biology patterns are crucial for understanding the dynamics and evolution of plants. This is particularly relevant in bryophytes, where sex expression and reproductive success can vary significantly with environmental conditions.

Nutrition regulates sex expression in a gender diphasy plant, Lilium concolor var. megalanthum [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionThe evolution and maintenance of plant polymorphism have always received much attention. Gender diphasy is a rare sexual system. Plant individuals with gender diphasy can adjust the resource allocation of different functional organs according

Identification of General Patterns of Sex-Biased Expression in Daphnia, a Genus with Environmental Sex Determination [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Daphnia reproduce by cyclic-parthenogenesis, where phases of asexual reproduction are intermitted by sexual production of diapause stages. This life cycle, together with environmental sex determination, allow the comparison of gene expression between ...

The sex expression and sex determining mechanism in Pistacia species. [PDF]
Breed Sci, 2019 Generally, Pistacia species are dioecious, but monoecious strains in several populations have been found, providing excellent models for studying sex differentiation and sex determination mechanisms. Although the mechanisms of sex determination and sex evolution have been extensively studied, related research on heterozygous woody plants is limited ...

Escape from X inactivation varies across genes and tissues and shapes sex-biased sex chromosome gene expression [PDF]
BMC GenomicsSex differences in human health and disease are shaped by complex interactions between hormones, environment, and genetic factors – including those associated with sex chromosomes.

Sex-biased gene expression and recent sex chromosome turnover [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Cichlids are well known for their propensity to radiate generating arrays of morphologically and ecologically diverse species in short evolutionary time. Following this rapid evolutionary pace, cichlids show high rates of sex chromosome turnover. We here studied the evolution of sex-biased gene (SBG) expression in 14 recently diverged taxa of the Lake ...
