Functional divergence of MADS-box genes and the dual regulatory role of a long noncoding RNA underlie sex determination in Ginkgo biloba.
These findings provide mechanistic insights into the evolution of sex chromosomes and reproductive strategies in gymnosperms, offering potential molecular targets for early sex identification and marker-assisted breeding in dioecious trees.
