Abstract:Sex-biased genes offer insights into the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Sex-biased genes, especially those with male bias, show elevated evolutionary rates of protein sequences driving by positive selection and relaxed purifying selection in animals. Although rapid sequence evolution of sex-biased genes and evolutionary forces have been investigated in animals and brown algas, less is known about them in dioecious angiosperms. In this study, we separately compared the expression of sex-biased gene between fem… Show more
