Sex chromosomes in land plants can evolve as a consequence of close linkage between the
two sex determination genes with complementary dominance required to establish stable …

Controlling the sex ratio is essential in finfish farming. A balanced sex ratio is usually good
for broodstock management, since it enables to develop appropriate breeding schemes …

Many organisms have sex chromosomes with large nonrecombining regions that have
expanded stepwise, generating “evolutionary strata” of differentiation. The reasons for this …

Heterogametic sex chromosomes have evolved independently in various lineages of
vertebrates. Such sex chromosome pairs often contain nonrecombining regions, with one of …

Current theory proposes that degenerated sex chromosomes—such as the mammalian Y—
evolve through three steps:(i) recombination arrest, linking male-beneficial alleles to the Y …

The canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution predicts that, as recombination is
suppressed along sex chromosomes, gametologs will progressively differentiate, eventually …

Nonrecombining sex chromosomes, like the mammalian Y, often lose genes and
accumulate transposable elements, a process termed degeneration. The correlation …

Date palm is one of the most economically important woody crops cultivated in the Middle
East and North Africa and is a good candidate for improving agricultural yields in arid …

The codling moth Cydia pomonella, a major invasive pest of pome fruit, has spread around
the globe in the last half century. We generated a chromosome-level scaffold assembly …

Recombination is a central biological process with implications for many areas in the life
sciences. Yet we are only beginning to appreciate variation in the recombination rate along …
