Total number of male plus female sex-biased genes (y axis) in Mercurialis annua throughout development (x axis) in three different tissues (apical leaves and meristems in light green, mature leaves in red and roots in dark green) as found by Cossard et al. (2019). Each tissue and developmental stage is plotted with a pink dot if female-biased genes are more numerous than male biased genes, blue if male-biased genes are more numerous and grey if numbers are balanced.
