Name	Description	Source
AMS	Aborted Microspores - gene that encodes a MYC class basic helix loop?helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is expressed specifically in the tapetum of A. thaliana anthers.	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
AOMADS1 (AOM1)	SEP-like gene, closely related to SEP3 from Arabidopsis, AOM1 is expressed not only in flower organs but also in inflorescence and flower meristems, does not seems to be involved in asparagus sex differentiation.	https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s004970000049
AOMADS2 (AOM4)	SEP-like gene, closely related to SEP3 from Arabidopsis.	https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00497-006-0030-8
AOMADS3	SEP-like gene, far-related to SEP3.	https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00497-006-0030-8
bHLH89	Tapetum-related transcription factor, which has been shown to interact with AMS during anther development	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
Genes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway	The general phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathway is well described, and has been shown to affect pollen development and male sterility. Genes encoding these pathways showed differential expression between female and male individuals.	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
MS2	Male Sterility 2 (MS2) exhibits male-specific expression in A. officinalis, encoding a fatty acid reductase that is primarily expressed in the A. thaliana tapetum during pollen tetrad release.	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
Ovule development genes	A small number of asparagus transcripts with Arabidopsis homologs influencing ovule development exhibited female-biased expression relative to males or supermales.	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
QRT1	Pectinesterase expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana anthers shortly after microspore meiosis is completed. QRT1 is required for proper microspore separation.	https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13389
sex-biased sRNAs	Comparisons of small RNA abundance between male and female vegetative and reproductive tissues in garden asparagus show differential sRNA patterns between sexes. (but none of the genes within the non-recombining region of the Y exhibit evidence of post-transcriptional regulation involving sRNAs).	https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-01064-8
