  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the driving forces and molecular processes underlying dioecy and sex chromosome evolution, leading from hermaphroditism to the occurrence of male and female individuals, is of considerable interest in fundamental and applied research. {T}he genus {P}hoenix, belonging to the {A}recaceae family, consists uniquely of dioecious species. {P}hylogenetic data suggest that the genus {P}hoenix has diverged from a hermaphroditic ancestor which is also shared with its closest relatives. {W}e have investigated the cessation of recombination in the sex-determination region within the genus {P}hoenix as a whole by extending the analysis of {P}.dactylifera {SSR} sex-related loci to eight other species within the genus. {P}hylogenetic analysis of a date palm sex-linked {P}d{MYB}1 gene in these species has revealed that sex-linked alleles have not clustered in a species-dependent way but rather in {X} and {Y}-allele clusters. {O}ur data show that sex chromosomes evolved from a common autosomal origin before the diversification of the extant dioecious species.},
