PLANTS VS ANIMALS. "There are important differences in the biology of plants and animals that may provide insights into why and how the evolution of sexual dimorphism differs between these groups." https://lnkd.in/ge7JD6J View in LinkedIn

UNTANGLING ORIGINS. "If plants have evolved through the gynodioecy pathway, gynodioecious and dioecious species should co-occur in the same genera. It was found that, overall, angiosperm genera with both gynodioecious and dioecious species occur more frequently than expected, in agreement with the gynodioecy pathway." https://lnkd.in/guzeMTD View in LinkedIn

ORIGIN. "Our data show that sex chromosomes evolved from a common autosomal origin before the diversification of the extant dioecious species." https://lnkd.in/ey4vMRy View in LinkedIn

IMPORTANT QUESTION. "Understanding the driving forces and molecular processes underlying dioecy and sex chromosome evolution, leading from hermaphroditism to the occurrence of male and female individuals, is of considerable interest in fundamental and applied research." https://lnkd.in/ey4vMRy View in LinkedIn

CLUES IN NATURE. "The sexuality of flowers is an important reproductive character in angiosperms. An insight into the evolutionary events that led to the appearance of monoecious and dioecious species can be gained by comparing closely related groups with contrasting characters." https://lnkd.in/e5Q-RPV View in LinkedIn

CHROMOSOME REARRANGEMENTS. "TE insertions probably contribute to the greater degree of rearrangement of Y than X chromosomes observed in mammals and in the plants papaya and S. latifolia." (TE = transposable elements). https://lnkd.in/exrSaeb View in LinkedIn

ROLE IN BIRTH. “Retroviruses are linked to the birth of children and are found in the wombs of pregnant woman, in the placenta.” https://lnkd.in/guhpmyR View in LinkedIn

ABUNDANT EVIDENCE. “The fingerprints of viruses can be found everywhere in life’s history.” https://lnkd.in/guhpmyR View in LinkedIn

LEGACY. “Many of the attributes of cells that exist today can be traced back to simple viral origins.” https://lnkd.in/guhpmyR View in LinkedIn

ORIGIN. “Ancient giant Mimi virus may have been able to replicate without a host, and have served as the first cellular nucleus, a command and control center that allowed life to get more elaborate.” https://lnkd.in/guhpmyR View in LinkedIn
