This research investigates the lack of recombination in sex chromosomes of fungi, focusing on the Microbotryum genus. It aims to understand the evolutionary mechanisms behind genomic degeneration and the implications for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes.
Sex chromosomes often show extensive areas of suppressed recombination and cytological differentiation, a well-documented phenomenon in animals and plants.
Lack of recombination is expected to limit the efficacy of natural selection, leading to degeneration in gene content.
Similarly, fungal mating-type chromosomes, which are responsible for controlling compatibility during mating, can display patterns of suppressed recombination encompassing up to 90% of the chromosome length.
The mechanisms re…
