Sequencing papaya X and Yh chromosomes reveals molecular basis of incipient sex chromosome evolution.

Sex determination in papaya is controlled by a recently evolved XY chromosome pair, with two slightly different Y chromosomes controlling the development of males (Y) and hermaphrodites (Y(h)). To study the events of early sex chromosome evolution, we sequenced the hermaphrodite-specific region of the Y(h) chromosome (HSY) and its X counterpart, yielding an 8.1-megabase (Mb) HSY pseudomolecule,...

Contrasting patterns of X/Y polymorphism distinguish Carica papaya from other sex chromosome systems.

The sex chromosomes of the tropical crop papaya (Carica papaya) are evolutionarily young and consequently allow for the examination of evolutionary mechanisms that drive early sex chromosome divergence. We conducted a molecular population genetic analysis of four X/Y gene pairs from a collection of 45 wild papaya accessions. These population genetic analyses reveal striking differences in the p...

Evidence for emergence of sex-determining gene(s) in a centromeric region in Vasconcellea parviflora.

Sex chromosomes have been studied in many plant and animal species. However, few species are suitable as models to study the evolutionary histories of sex chromosomes. We previously demonstrated that papaya (Carica papaya) (2n = 2x = 18), a fruit tree in the family Caricaceae, contains recently emerged but cytologically heteromorphic X/Y chromosomes. We have been intrigued by the possible prese...

Construction of Papaya Male and Female BAC Libraries and Application in Physical Mapping of the Sex Chromosomes

Papaya is a major fruit crop in the tropics and has recently evolved sex chromosomes. Towards sequencing the papaya sex chromosomes, two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries were constructed from papaya male and female genomic DNA. The female BAC library was constructed using restriction enzyme BstY I and consists of 36,864 clones with an average insert size of 104 kb, providing 10.3...

Molecular Analysis of Sex Chromosome Evolution in Papaya By

Papaya is a semi-woody tree that produces fruit rich in vitamins and minerals. It is trioecious with male, female, and hermaphrodite plants. Though many theories have been suggested in the past, papaya sex is determined by a pair of nascent sex chromosomes; females have two X chromosomes, males have an X and a Y, and hermaphrodites have an X and a Y, which varies slightly from the male Y. Any c...
