Summary
Dioecious plants account for about 6% of angiosperms. Due to different reproductive investment costs, male and female plants have evolved different response strategies to environmental stresses. Such different strategies can be reflected in plant morphology, physiology, proteins, gene expression and epigenetic modifications. Due to the evolution of biology, exploring the physiological and molecular mechanisms of sexual dimorphism is of increasing interest to botanists and ecologists. This special issue will focus on the different response patterns of male and female plants to environmental variation in gene expression, protein modification, and plant morphology and physiology. All aspects of original research articles and reviews on plant sex-related topics are welcome.
