The evolution of separate sexes in waterhemp is associated with surprising chromosomal diversity and complexity.

The evolution of separate sexes is hypothesized to occur through distinct pathways involving few large-effect or many small-effect alleles. However, we lack empirical evidence for how these different genetic architectures shape the transition from quantitative variation in sex expression to distinct...
