Sex chromosomes, sex determination, and sex-linked sequences in Microtidae.
The Arvicolidae is a widely distributed rodent group with several interesting characteristics in their sex chromosomes. Here, we summarize the actual knowledge of some of these characteristics. This mammalian group has species with abnormal sex determination systems. In fact, some species present the same karyotype in both males and females, with total absence of a Y chromosome, and hence of SR...
متن کاملPlant Evolution: Modern Sex Chromosomes
The first detailed map has been produced of a plant chromosome carrying sex-determining genes. The new data show that, in papaya, these genes lie in a quite extensive non-recombining region. This region is nevertheless a small part of the papaya genome compared with other male-specific genome regions, such as mammalian Y chromosomes.
متن کاملSex chromosomes and sex determination in reptiles Commentary
Reptiles occupy a crucial position with respect to vertebrate phylogeny, having roamed the earth for more than 300 million years and given rise to both birds and mammals. To date, this group has been largely ignored by contemporary genomics technologies, although the green anole lizard was recently recommended for whole genome sequencing. Future experiments using flow-sorted chromosome librarie...
متن کاملPlant Sex Determination
Sex determination is as important for the fitness of plants as it is for animals, but its mechanisms appear to vary much more among plants than among animals, and the expression of gender in plants differs in important respects from that in most animals. In this Minireview, I provide an overview of the broad variety of ways in which plants determine sex. I suggest that several important peculia...
متن کاملSex determination by multiple sex chromosomes in Xenopus tropicalis.
Sex determination shows a great diversity of mechanisms, ranging from temperature and other environmental cues to strict chromosomal control over this process. In the case of genetic sex determination, this variability is linked to a similarly high variation of sex chromosome differentiation. In vertebrates the most widespread situation is that a pair of sex chromosomes differs in males and fem...
