TI  - Dynamic gene order on the Silene latifolia Y chromosome.

AB  - Dioecious Silene latifolia evolved heteromorphic sex chromosomes within the last 
      ten million years, making it a species of choice for studies of the early stages 
      of sex chromosome evolution in plants. About a dozen genes have been isolated 
      from its sex chromosomes and basic genetic and deletion maps exist for the X and 
      Y chromosomes. However, discrepancies between Y chromosome maps led to the 
      proposal that individual Y chromosomes may differ in gene order. Here, we use an 
      alternative approach, with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), to locate 
      individual genes on S. latifolia sex chromosomes. We demonstrate that gene order 
      on the Y chromosome differs between plants from two populations. We suggest that 
      dynamic gene order may be a general property of Y chromosomes in species with XY 
      systems, in view of recent work demonstrating that the gene order on the Y 
      chromosomes of humans and chimpanzees are dramatically different.
