Evolutionary conservation of the grape sex-determining region in angiosperms and emergence of dioecy in Vitaceae

Abstract In bunch grapes (Vitis spp.), flower sex is controlled by a ~ 200-kilobase sex-determining region (SDR) that contains genes involved in floral development. Here, we show that this region evolved from an ancient, highly conserved locus across angiosperms. Comparative genomic analysis of 56 p...
