Sex determination in dioecious Mercurialis annua and its close diploid and polyploid relatives.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2015

Russell J R W, Pannell J R

Abstract excerpt

Separate sexes have evolved on numerous independent occasions from hermaphroditic ancestors in flowering plants. The mechanisms of sex determination is known for only a handful of such species, but, in those that have been investigated, it usually involves alleles segregating at a single locus, sometimes on heteromorphic sex chromosomes. In the genus Mercurialis, transitions between combined (hermaphroditism) and...
