Evolution of a plant sex chromosome driven by expanding pericentromeric recombination suppression
Abstract Recombination suppression around sex-determining gene(s) is a key step in evolution of sex chromosomes, but it is not well understood how it evolves. Recently evolved sex-linked regions offer an opportunity to understand the mechanisms of recombination cessation. This paper analyses such a...
