Recent Y chromosome divergence despite ancient origin of dioecy in poplars (Populus).
All species of the genus Populus (poplar, aspen) are dioecious, suggesting an ancient origin of this trait. Despite some empirical counter examples, theory suggests that nonrecombining sex-linked regions should quickly spread, eventually becoming heteromorphic chromosomes. In contrast, we show using whole-genome scans that the sex-associated region in Populus trichocarpa is small and much young...

متن کاملRecent Sex Chromosome Divergence despite Ancient Dioecy in the Willow Salix viminalis
Sex chromosomes can evolve when recombination is halted between a pair of chromosomes, and this can lead to degeneration of the sex-limited chromosome. In the early stages of differentiation sex chromosomes are homomorphic, and even though homomorphic sex chromosomes are very common throughout animals and plants, we know little about the evolutionary forces shaping these types of sex chromosome...
متن کاملBarcoding Poplars (Populus L.) from Western China
BACKGROUND Populus is an ecologically and economically important genus of trees, but distinguishing between wild species is relatively difficult due to extensive interspecific hybridization and introgression, and the high level of intraspecific morphological variation. The DNA barcoding approach is a potential solution to this problem. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we tested the discri...
متن کاملEvolutionary Origin of the Medaka Y Chromosome
Genetic sex determination in an XX-XY chromosome system can be realized through a locus on the Y chromosome that makes the undifferentiated gonad develop into a testis. Although this mechanism is widespread, only in two cases so far have the corresponding master male sex-determining genes been identified. One is Sry, which initiates testes determination in most mammals. The other is dmrt1bY (sy...
