This project investigates the evolution of sex determination in flowering plants, particularly in the Hawaiian genus Wikstroemia. It aims to uncover genomic changes associated with the transition from hermaphroditism to separate sexes using genomics and greenhouse experiments.
Life on earth has undergone several major evolutionary transitions, but perhaps none so striking or relevant to our daily lives as the origin of separate sexes.
Yet, despite intense study for over 100 years, understanding how and why genes determining sex evolve - and the consequences for the chromosomes harboring them - remains an open problem in evolutionary biology.
One obstacle is that most previous work has focused on ancient sex chromosome systems, like those found in mammals, where recomb…
