Rapid evolution of synteny associated with multiple origins of dioecy and XY sex determination

Mark S. Hibbins, Cassandre B. Pyne, Mykhailo Sukmaniuk…·Stephen Wright

The paper develops a framework to analyze multispecies synteny data and applies it to Rumex, finding accelerated syntenic evolution linked to transitions to dioecy and XY sex determination.

Phylogenomics resolves key relationships in Rumex and uncovers a dynamic history of independently evolving sex chromosomes

Mark S. Hibbins, Joanna L. Rifkin, Baharul Islam Choudhury…·Stephen Wright

This study uses phylogenomic analysis of Rumex species to resolve sex chromosome evolution, finding two independent origins and chromosomal rearrangements without adaptive expansion support.
