Female Leadership and Gender Equity: Evidence from Plant Closure �
, 2011
"... We use unique worker-plant matched panel data to measure the impact of female leadership on the relative pay of men and women. We measure differences in the wage changes experienced by newly hired men and women displaced from closing plants. We correct for endogenous selection of both the original a ..."

WFL Publisher Sex differences in biochemical contents of Telfairia occidentalis Hook F.
, 2005
"... In order to evolve ways of early sex identification in Telfairia, the biochemical contents of leaf, vine and root of male and female plants were determined in three genotypes. Female plants had significantly higher concentrations of protein and fat while the male plant was higher in fibre, ash and a ..."

Discovery of male plants of Najas marina L. (Hydrocharitaceae) in Britain
"... The dioecious, annual macrophyte Najas marina is represented in Britain only in the Norfolk Broads. Although it was discovered in 1883 (at Hickling Broad), only female plants had previously been recorded and all seed production was assumed to be apomictic. Following detailed study of the population ..."

Comparison of MADS box gene expression is developing male and female flowers of the dioecious plant white campion. Plant Cell 6:1775–1787
, 1994
"... The MADS box motif is common to genes that regulate the pattern of flower development. To determine whether MADS box genes also play a role in differentiation of the sexes in dioecious plants, we isolated cDNAs (SLM7 to SLML, forsilene latifolia MADS) with MADS box homology from transcripts of male ..."

"... ABSTRACT. Sex-mediated herbivory by galling insects on Baccharis concinna (Asteraceae). The interaction patterns between the dioecious shrub Baccharis concinna Barroso (Asteraceae) and its speciose galling insect community were studied in southeastern Brazil. Two hypotheses were tested in this study ..."

in this study: “the differential reproduction and growth hypothesis ” that predicts that male plants present fewer reproductive structures and are larger than female plants; and the ‘sex-biased herbivory hypothesis ’ that predicts that male plants support a larger abundance of insect galls than female plants

"... ABSTRACT Chromosome studies were carried out in two dioecious species of cucurbits, viz., Thladiantha dubia and Trichosanthes bracteata for a detailed comparison of the karyotype of their respective sexes. While the somatic chromosome number of each sex form of Thladiantha dubia was recorded as 2n ..."

= 18, the somatic chromosome count of male and female plants of Trichosanthes bracteata was found to be 2n = 22. In both genera the karyotype of male and female plants showed high homogeneity and no heteromorphicity was recorded in relation to sex. However, in comparison to symmetrical nature
determination of Pistacia vera L.
, 2009
"... Sex determination in Pistacia as a dioecious plant is economically desirable. Identification of the male and female plants has a great value for Pistacia yield production. In the present study, leaf samples from four female plants from cultivars of Pistacia including Akbary, Akbar Aghaei, Fandoghi, ..."

Patterning the female side of Arabidopsis: the importance
, 2006
"... The study of floral organ development has been a dri-ving force inplantdevelopmental biology research for the last two decades, and there is now an enormous wealth of information about the genetic networks underlying the specification of floral organ identity and the acqui-sition of its final morpho ..."

These and parallel studies on leaf morphogenesis and develop-ment havemade evident the common evolutionary origin of all plant lateral organs and the recurrent use of vari-ations in the regulatory circuits involved in the shaping of leaves and flowers. This review summarizes
Antisymmetry in female strobili of Pinus taeda
, 2007

Spiral structures are a widespread theme in plant morphology, raising considerable interest amongst botanists and mathematicians for their relationship with Fibonacci numbers (see A phenomenon closely related to (but conceptually independent from) phyllotaxis is antisymmetry, the presence of alter ..."

Sex-related differences in reproductive allocation, growth, defense and herbivory in three dioecious neotropical palms
, 2010
"... Background: Frequently, in dioecious plants, female plants allocate more resources to reproduction than male plants. Therefore it is expected that asymmetrical allocation to reproduction may lead to a reproduction-growth tradeoff, whereby female plants grow less than male plants, but invest more in ..."
