The <i>Silene latifolia</i> genome and its giant Y chromosome

2023-09-22

Abstract excerpt

In some species, the Y is a tiny chromosome but the dioecious plant Silene latifolia has a giant ∼550 Mb Y chromosome, which has remained unsequenced so far. Here we used a hybrid approach to obtain a high-quality male S. latifolia genome. Using mutants for sexual phenotype, we identified candidate sex-determining genes on the Y. Comparative analysis of the sex chromosomes with outgroups showed the Y is surprisi...
