The evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in plants
Ancient heteromorphic sex chromosomes are common in mammals, but not in plants. Sex chromosomes in the plant family Cannabaceae, which includes species like hops and hemp, were identified a century ag...

Hi Bluesky! I'm going to use my first posts to tell you about some really exciting updates.

I'm delighted to share that our manuscript on the Amborella sex chromosomes was published last month! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
ZW sex chromosome structure in Amborella trichopoda - Nature Plants
The haplotype-resolved genome in Amborella trichopoda addresses outstanding questions on the structure and gene content of the recently evolved ZW sex chromosomes.
