This study investigates cis-regulation of gene expression between sexes and life stages in Rumex hastatulus using eQTL mapping, finding stronger shared genetic architecture between sexes than between life stages.

The paper investigates Y chromosome degeneration in Rumex hastatulus, finding widespread underexpression of Y genes and no evidence of early dosage compensation.

The paper examines genomic signals of selection across life stages in plants, finding stronger purifying selection on unbiased genes and synergistic pleiotropy rather than antagonistic pleiotropy.

This study uses phylogenomic analysis of Rumex species to resolve sex chromosome evolution, finding two independent origins and chromosomal rearrangements without adaptive expansion support.

This study characterizes sex differences in recombination landscape in Rumex hastatulus, showing strong male-specific recombination suppression and its potential role in sex chromosome evolution.
