We studied the grape sex-determining region (SDR) in 12 Vitis genomes and demonstrated its conservation across 556 genotypes including 193 accessions from 47 world-wide wild grapevine species and 363 ...

Hermaphroditism is rare and phylogenically in decline among animal species. The evolutionary basis for this development is not well understood. This paper focusses on self-incompatible simultaneous ...

Hermaphroditism is taxonomically widespread among teleost fishes and takes on many forms including simultaneous, protogynous, and protandrous hermaphroditism, bidirectional sex change, and androdioecy ...

A new study by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona has revealed that gonochorism, or separate sexes, and not hermaphroditism, as proposed by recent phylogenetic work, is the ...
