This article explores the origin and evolution of the Y chromosome in kiwifruit. The sex determination of kiwifruit is genetically controlled by an XY system, and two Y-linked sex-determining genes, Shy Girl (SyGl) and Friendly Boy (FrBy), have been identified. The study examines the structural reorganization of the kiwifruit Y chromosome and identifies the sex-determining region (SDR) on chromosome 25 in A. chinensis and chromosome 12 in A. eriantha. The research also investigates the genomic diversity and evolutionary trajectories of the Y chromosome in kiwifruit. [Extracted from the article]
