Development and Evolution of Unisexual Flowers: A Review [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The development of unisexual flowers has been described in a large number of taxa, sampling the diversity of floral phenotypes and sexual systems observed in extant angiosperms, in studies focusing on floral ontogeny, on the evo-devo of unisexuality, or ...

Assessment of the role of Wolbachia in mtDNA paraphyly and the evolution of unisexuality in Calligrapha (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Calligrapha is a New World leaf beetle genus that includes several unisexual species in northeastern North America. Each unisexual species had an independent hybrid origin involving different combinations of bisexual species.

Natural epialleles of Arabidopsis SUPERMAN display superwoman phenotypes [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2020 Ramesh Bondada et al. report natural epimutations in the Arabidopsis SUPERMAN gene from tetraploid and diploid accessions. The existence of these epialleles in diverse wild populations have the potential to shed light on the evolution of unisexuality in ...

Pheromone expression reveals putative mechanism of unisexuality in a saprobic ascomycete fungus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Homothallism (self-fertility) describes a wide variety of sexual strategies that enable a fungus to reproduce in the absence of a mating partner. Unisexual reproduction, a form of homothallism, is a process whereby a fungus can progress through sexual ...

Invasive Californian death caps develop mushrooms unisexually and bisexually [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Canonical sexual reproduction among basidiomycete fungi involves the fusion of two haploid individuals of different mating types, resulting in a heterokaryotic mycelial body made up of genetically different nuclei.

Unraveling the development behind unisexual flowers in Cylindropuntia wolfii (Cactaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background In certain unisexual flowers, non-functional sexual organs remain vestigial and unisexuality can be overlooked leading to the ambiguous description of the sexual systems.

Sexual Dimorphism on a Conserved Scaffold: Insights from the Floral Ontogeny of Eurychorda (Restionaceae: Poales) [PDF]
PlantsAngiosperms include many taxa with dimorphic unisexual reproductive structures. These are well studied in some grasses, with maize as a key model, but other wind-pollinated lineages in Poales remain less explored.
