Name Description Protein homology Other info Source
SlCytX/Y Encodes a cytochrome B protein. Recently translocated from an autosome and inserted close to the PAR of the X chromosome. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msp141
SlMF1 Specifically expressed in stamens and petals. Longest ORF encoded a 50-amino acid protein that did not show significant homology with other reported proteins. Multicopy gene with homologous sequences on autosomes and the X and Y chromosomes. https://doi.org/10.1266/ggs.80.395
Slss Strong homology to spermidine synthase genes of other species. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msi003
Slss Y-linked copy of this gene has apparently lost its function. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0016672307009056
SlWUS It has been reported to contribute to meristem maintenance and anther development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Homologue of WUSCHEL in Arabidopsis thaliana. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2006.09.013
SlWUS There are two copies of SlWUS in S. latifolia (SlWUS1 and SlWUS2), one located on the X chromosome with no homologous copy on the Y chromosome https://doi.org/10.1534/g3.112.003749
SlWUS https://doi.org/10.1534/g3.112.003749
SlX1/SlY1 Included in variety of processes such as regulation of transcription, control of cell growth and differentiation, and chromatin structure. WD-repeat family of proteins Much lower nucleotide polymorphism in a Y-linked gene (SlY1) of the plant Silene latifolia than in the homologous X-linked gene (SlX1).SlY1 is 20 times less polymorphic than SlX1. https://doi.org/10.1093/emboj/18.15.4169
SlX1/SlY1 WD-repeat family of proteins https://doi.org/10.1016/S0764-4469(01)01322-1
SlX1/SlY1 WD-repeat family of proteins https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a003930
