> Research
Evolution of sex chromosomes in dioecious plants:
1, Using whole genome resequencing data to identify the sex determination systems of representatives of Salix;
2, Assembling chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genomes of representatives of Salix,to explore the origin and evolution of XY and ZW systems in Salix;
3,Using multi-omics data to clarify the sex determination mechanism of polyploid willows.
