Balanced polymorphism in a floral transcription factor underlies an ancient rhythm of daily sex alternation in avocado

Jeffrey S. Groh, Marllon Fernando Soares dos Santos, Emmanuel Ávila de Dios, Gracie Ackerman, Edwin Solares, Rodrigo Alejandro Iturrieta, Eric Focht, Danelle K. Seymour, Brandon S. Gaut, Mary Lu Arpaia, Graham Coop

The paper identifies a polymorphic transcription factor, SDMYB, responsible for daily sex alternation in avocado and related species, showing balancing selection over millions of years.

Allelic turnover and dominance reversal at a single-gene balanced polymorphism controlling heterodichogamous flowering in wingnuts (Juglandaceae)

Jeffrey S. Groh, Gracie Ackerman, Michael Wenzel, Graham Coop

This paper identifies distinct inheritance mechanisms controlling heterodichogamy in two Juglandaceae genera, showing allelic dominance reversal and cis-regulatory divergence at the GFAFL gene.
