Inferring the Genetic Basis of Sex Determination from the Genome of a Dioecious Nightshade
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 38(7), 2946–2957.
Ed(s): M. Purugganan
author keywords: sex chromosome; sex evolution; genome assembly; dioecy; Solanum
MeSH headings : Biological Evolution; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genome, Plant; Multigene Family; Pectins / genetics; Sex Determination Processes / genetics; Solanum / genetics
