Abstract
The present study exhibits amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) molecular marker for sex identification in Broussonetia papyrifera . Based on nine selective amplification primer combinations, 230 bands were produced and the E -AGG/M-CAA combination was found to be a male-specific AFLP marker. Subsequently, this male-specific AFLP fragment was sequenced and converted into a sequence tagged site (STS) marker. Based on STS sequence, two primers, MADB-1 and MADB-2 (Male-Associated DNA from B. papyrifera ), were designed to verify the specificity of the fragment. The results indicate that common homology sequence is existed in both male and female plants while one of the bands amplified via MADB-2 primer was solely present in male individuals at high annealing temperature up to 66°C. Finally, MADB-2 primer was introduced to amplify another 16 plants and it revealed that this primer could be used as a convenient, efficient, reliable, and low-cost molecular marker for sex identification in B. papyrifera . Keywords: Broussonetia papyrifera , AFLP, STS, male-specific marker

Review on different mechanisms of sex determination and sex-linked molecular markers in dioecious crops: a current update

TL;DR: The present review emphasizes the mode of sex determination among dioecious plants vis-a-vis summarizes the works related to gender specific markers generated using male and female plants from agriculturally important dioemious crops.

Sex Distribution of Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) in the Pacific.

TL;DR: Most paper mulberry plants now present in the Pacific appear to be descended from female clones introduced prehistorically, with the presence of male and female plants in Near and Remote Oceania thought to reflect a dual origin.

De Novo assembly of expressed transcripts and global transcriptomic analysis from seedlings of the paper mulberry (Broussonetia kazinoki x Broussonetia papyifera).

TL;DR: This global expression analysis provided novel insights about the molecular mechanisms of the biosynthesis of flavonoid, lignin and cellulose, as well as on the response to biotic and abiotic stresses including the remediation of contaminated soil by the paper mulberry.

Phylogeography of herbarium specimens of asexually propagated paper mulberry [Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L'Hér. ex Vent. (Moraceae)] reveals genetic diversity across the Pacific.

TL;DR: Insight is gained into the dispersal of paper mulberry into Oceania through the genetic analysis of herbaria samples which represent a more complete coverage of the historical geographical range of the species in the Pacific before later introductions and local extinctions occurred.

Sex-specific SCAR markers in the dioecious plant Rumex nivalis (Polygonaceae) and implications for the evolution of sex chromosomes.

TL;DR: SCAR primers based on isolated and sequenced male-specific fragments as identified in an AFLP analysis of the dioecious plant Rumex nivalis resulted in fragments exclusively present in males, in accordance with proposed modes of the evolution of sex chromosomes.

Traditional Trees of Pacific Islands: Their Culture, Environment, and Use (review)

TL;DR: Traditional Trees of Pacific Islands is perhaps a new wave of pronounced ethnobotanical emphasis combined with what is basically an identification guide with fairly detailed ecological notes, and will demystify some of the more frequently encountered tree species from coast to mountain.
