RNAseq of Mercurialis annua control and selected lines after four generations of selection for increased male allocation in females
A selection experiment has been set that selects females Mercurialis annua for increased allocation in male functions by depriving selected populations of all males. This resulted in a drastic phenotypic shift in sex allocation in females of the selected lines. The present RNA sequencing of control and selected lines after four generations of selection permits us to track the expression levels of previously identified male- and female-biased genes in females of the selected lines.
