The paper identifies two Y-linked mutations in a dioecious plant that regulate a male-female developmental trade-off through a regulatory module involving SUN, KUN, and YUN.

The paper studies the evolution of an X-A balance sex determination system in hops by analyzing genome sequences of two hop species and identifies a candidate gene involved in the system.

The paper analyzes cytological and genomic features of two Leptodactylus frog species to understand the evolution of multivalent sex chromosomes in meiosis.

The paper investigates dioicy-monoicy transitions in liverworts, confirming monoicy evolved from a dioicous ancestor and describing potential re-evolution of dioicy with new sex chromosome formation.

The paper describes the discovery of genes underlying male-female flower differences in Silene latifolia and relates findings to the evolution of the Y chromosome's non-recombining regions.

This study sequences the giant Y chromosome of Silene latifolia and reveals its structure, function, and evolutionary history.

The paper investigates recombination patterns in the guppy Y chromosome, finding two pseudo-autosomal regions and suggesting the male-determining factor is in a repetitive region near 21 Mb.

The paper reports genome assemblies of two wild Spinacia species and identifies sex chromosome turnover, including a Y-linked region and a duplicated Y-duplicated region.

The paper reports genome assemblies of two wild spinach progenitors and identifies structural variants and introgression events associated with spinach domestication.

The paper maps the sex-determining region in guppies, confirms its location near the pseudo-autosomal region, and identifies potential assembly errors and linkage disequilibrium.

The paper investigates recombination patterns in guppies and finds male-specific recombination suppression that may facilitate sexually antagonistic polymorphisms.
