摘要
尽管理论上认为雌性和雄性之间的性别比例应为 1:1,但许多雌雄异株的植物物种却表现出性别比例失调。最近在柿子中进行的一项研究表明,种子发育所必需的 X 染色体基因随机失活是造成这种情况的原因。
Despite theoretical expectations of balanced 1:1 sex ratios between females and males, many dioecious plant species exhibit sex ratio distortions. A recent study in persimmon shows how this can be caused by random inactivation of an X-chromosomal gene that is essential for seed development.
