Project description:Identification of patterns of sex-biased expression in (shared) vegetative tissues before and after sexual maturity in Mercurialis annua
Project description:A selection experiment has been set that selects females Mercurialis annua for increased allocation in male functions by depriving selected populations of all males. This resulted in a drastic phenotypic shift in sex allocation in females of the selected lines. The present RNA sequencing of control and selected lines after four generations of selection permits us to track the expression levels of previously identified male- and female-biased genes in females of the selected lines.
