✦ Synopsis
Gynodioecy is believed to be a common pathway to dioecy. The determination of sex in gynodioecy commonly involves cytoplasmic genes associated with nuclear genes. We demonstrate that this nuclear-cytoplasmic polymorphism can also be maintained in dioecious reproductive systems. Such a determination of sex leads to a female biased sex-ratio in populations.
