In angiosperms, dioecious clades tend to have fewer species than their nondioecious sister
clades. This departure from the expected equal species richness in the standard sister clade …

Surveys of plant breeding systems in angiosperm families have shown a significant
association between monoecy and dioecy, and researchers have proposed that dioecy has …

We review transitions between hermaphroditism and dioecy in animals and (mainly
flowering) plants. Although hermaphroditism and dioecy represent two end states in a sex …

Despite the extensive research on the potential benefits of dioecy to individuals, little is
known about the long-term success of dioecious lineages in relation to their hermaphroditic …

Sexual system is a key determinant of genetic variation and reproductive success, affecting
evolution within populations and within clades. Much research in plants has focused on …

The majority of the world's flowering plants are hermaphrodite but many of them encourage
cross pollination by means of spatial or temporal separation of eggs and pollen, or by …

Dioecy, characterized by the presence of distinct male and female plants, is widespread in
angiosperms, being known in 37 out of Engler & Prantl's 51 orders (132). Yet botanists have …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Flowering plants display a variety of sexual systems, ranging
from complete cosexuality (hermaphroditism) to separate‐sexed individuals (dioecy). While …

One reason for studying sex chromosomes of flowering plants is that they have often
evolved separate sexes recently, and the genomes of dioecious species may not yet have …

Background The 'gynodioecy–dioecy pathway'is considered to be one of the most important
evolutionary routes from hermaphroditism to separate sexes (dioecy). Despite a large …
