Abstract:

Sexual dimorphism like dioecy (separate male and female individuals) have evolved in diverse multicellular eukaryotes while the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of such a key biological trait remains elusive. The living fossil Ginkgo biloba represents an early diverged lineage of land plants with dioecy. However, its sex-determination system and molecular basis have long been controversial or unknown. In the present research, we assembled the first and largest to date chromosome-level genome of a non-model tree species using Hi-C data. With this reference genome, we addressed both questions using genome resequencing data gathered from 97 male and 265 female trees of ginkgo, as well as transcriptome data from three developmental stages for both sexes. Our results support vertebrate-like XY chromosomes for ginkgo and five potential sex-determination genes, which may originate ~14 million years ago. This is the earliest diverged sex determination region in all reported plants as yet. The present research resolved a long-term controversy, lay a foundation for future studies on the origin and evolution of plant sexes, and provide genetic markers for sex identification of ginkgo which will be valuable for both nurseries and field ecology of ginkgo.

Scientific name: Ginkgo biloba

Sample description: 
Samples collected from two tissues (cones and leaves) of both two sexes at three developmental stages. The developmental stages were defined according to the distinguished morphology, i.e., F1) initial budburst, F2) full development of female cones, and F3) appearance of pollination drops for females; and M1) initial budburst, M2) full development of male cones, and M3) opening of male cones for males. Three biological replicates were taken at each stage. The first character of sample ID means the tissue is cones(F) or leaves(L), and the last number represents one of the biological replicates.
Sample attribute:

Molecular data type:RNA

Geographic location (country and/or sea,region): China, Zhejiang Province, Tianmu Mountain National Nature Reserve

Sequencing method: BGISEQ-500 using RNASeq_OligodT libraries

Sex: female and male

Plant body site: strobilus buds and leaves

Collection date: 2018.03.28–2018.04.11
