Widespread Recombination Suppression Facilitates Plant Sex Chromosome Evolution.
Joanna L. Rifkin,Felix E.G. Beaudry,Zoë Humphries,Baharul I. Choudhury,Spencer C. H. Barrett,Stephen I. Wright +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that sex-linked regions of both the ancestral and the neo-sex chromosomes are embedded in large regions of low recombination, suggesting that ancestrally low rates of recombination may facilitate the formation of heteromorphic sex chromosomes.

Widespread Recombination Suppression Facilitates Plant Sex Chromosome Evolution
Joanna L. Rifkin,Felix E.G. Beaudry,Zoë Humphries,Baharul I. Choudhury,Spencer C. H. Barrett,Stephen I. Wright +5 more
TL;DR: This work constructed linkage maps and a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the dioecious plant Rumex hastatulus and found that the ancestral sex-linked region is located in a large region characterized by low recombination.
