Sex dimorphism and gene expression were studied in developing catkins in 159 F 2
individuals from the bioenergy crop Salix purpurea, and potential mechanisms and …

Salix triandra belongs to section Amygdalinae in genus Salix, which is in a different section
from the willow species in which sex determination has been well studied. Studying sex …

Dioecy has evolved numerous times in plants, but heteromorphic sex chromosomes are
apparently rare. Sex determination has been studied in multiple Salix and Populus …

The heritability of gene expression is critical in understanding heterosis and is dependent on
allele-specific regulation by local and remote factors in the genome. We used RNA-Seq to …

Background Salicaceae species have diverse sex determination systems and frequent sex
chromosome turnovers. However, compared with poplars, the diversity of sex determination …

Summary The Salicaceae, including Populus and Salix, are dioecious perennials that utilize
different sex determination systems. This family provides a useful system to better …

Dioecy, the presence of separate sexes on distinct individuals, has evolved repeatedly in
multiple plant lineages. However, the specific mechanisms by which sex systems evolve and …

Abstract Background and Aims The largest genus of Salicaceae sensu lato, Salix, has been
shown to consist of two main clades: clade Salix, in which species have XY sex …

Within the genus Salix, there are approximately 350 species native primarily to the northern
hemisphere and adapted to a wide range of habitats. This diversity can be exploited to mine …

Most studies of sex determination systems in plants involve dioecious annuals that have
known sex chromosomes. Despite the absence of such structures in the majority of …
