The regulation of meiotic crossover distribution: a coarse solution to a century-old mystery?

Chloe Girard et al.

Summary: Meiotic crossovers are more evenly spaced along chromosomes than expected by chance due to crossover interference. The mechanism behind this phenomenon, which regulates the occurrence of nearby crossover events, remains elusive.

Partial cytological diploidization of neoautotetraploid meiosis by induced cross- over rate reduction

Adrian Gonzalo et al.

Summary: Polyploids, which result from genome duplication events, play an important role in genome evolution in eukaryotes and offer potential benefits for crop improvement. This study investigates the hypothesis that reducing meiotic cross-over rates can limit the formation of abnormal chromosomal associations, called multivalents, in polyploids. The researchers developed Arabidopsis thaliana lines with low cross-over rates and found that the reduction in cross-overs decreased multivalent formation in polyploids, but also resulted in increased univalent frequency and did not improve polyploid fertility. These findings highlight the complexity of factors affecting meiotic stability and fertility in polyploids.

All Ways Lead to Rome-Meiotic Stabilization Can Take Many Routes in Nascent Polyploid Plants

Adrian Gonzalo

Summary: Newly formed polyploids often exhibit meiotic defects and reduced fertility, but polyploid lineages that survive in nature are generally stable and fertile. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the survival of polyploid lineages, and coevolution of multiple genes and genome fractionation play important roles in polyploid stabilization.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it: evaluating the effect of increased recombination on response to selection for wheat breeding

Ella Taagen et al.

Summary: Meiotic recombination is a source of allelic diversity but its low frequency and biased distribution limit genetic variation in plant breeding. Increasing recombination frequency may result in loss of genetic variation and decrease in genomic prediction accuracy. Existing breeding methods are more efficient in retaining genetic variation and increasing genetic gains compared to a controlled recombination approach.

The meiotic cohesin subunit REC8 contributes to multigenic adaptive evolution of autopolyploid meiosis in Arabidopsis arenosa

Summary: Genome duplication poses challenges to meiotic adaptation. Adaptive traits in autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa are likely multigenic, with subtle and additive effects or more complex interactions.

Joint control of meiotic crossover patterning by the synaptonemal complex and HEI10 dosage

Stephanie Durand et al.

Summary: This study proposes a model for crossover patterning, suggesting that the diffusion of HEI10 along the synaptonemal complex leads to a coarsening process that creates well-spaced crossover-promoting foci. The findings support this model and provide insight into the mechanistic basis of crossover control during meiosis.

Learning to tango with four (or more): the molecular basis of adaptation to polyploid meiosis

Kirsten Bomblies

Summary: Polyploidy, resulting from genome duplication, is common in plants and has occurred throughout the history of eukaryotes. It provides an evolutionary opportunity for diversification, adaptation, and the evolution of functional novelty, but also presents challenges in terms of meiotic pairing, recombination, and segregation of multiple copies of each chromosome. Understanding the molecular basis of polyploid adaptations to these challenges has seen significant progress in recent years.

Patterns and Processes of Diploidization in Land Plants

Zheng Li et al.

Summary: This review discusses the impact of polyploidy on chromosome pairing behavior in land plants, as well as the two major processes of diploidization: cytological diploidization and genic diploidization/fractionation. It also compares gene fractionation variation across land plants and highlights differences in diploidization between plants and animals.

De Novo Mutation and Rapid Protein (Co-)evolution during Meiotic Adaptation in Arabidopsis arenosa

Magdalena Bohutinska et al.

Summary: Positive selection was found in meiosis proteins of both tetraploid and diploid A. arenosa, with tetraploids showing more amino acid changes and affecting more strongly conserved sites. Selection may commonly act on de novo mutations in tetraploids, and coevolution and multinucleotide mutations could contribute to rapid accumulation of changes in meiotic proteins.

Abdul Kader Alabdullah et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of the duplicated and diverged ZIP4 gene in maintaining wheat fertility, particularly in hexaploid wheat where the duplicated copy plays a crucial role in male reproduction. Further studies are needed to explore the potential value and complexities of the ZIP4 duplication in wheat.

Evolution of crossover interference enables stable autopolyploidy by ensuring pairwise partner connections in Arabidopsis arenosa

Chris Morgan et al.

Summary: Polyploidy, especially autopolyploidy, plays a significant role in evolutionary change by affecting meiotic crossover patterns. Research shows that established autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa exhibits a robust crossover interference mechanism, while the neo-autotetraploid displays defects. This suggests that stable autopolyploid meiosis has evolved a supercharged interference process to simplify crossover patterns and promote bivalent formation.

Animal chromosome counts reveal a similar range of chromosome numbers but with less polyploidy in animals compared to flowering plants

Cristian Roman-Palacios et al.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms behind chromosome evolution can provide insights into lineage origin, persistence, and evolutionary tempo. A database of chromosome counts for animals was presented, showing similarities in distribution with flowering plants, though driven by different factors. Animals and plants exhibit similar frequencies of speciation-related changes in chromosome number, but plant speciation is more often associated with changes in ploidy.

Diffusion-mediated HEI10 coarsening can explain meiotic crossover positioning in Arabidopsis

Chris Morgan et al.

Summary: Through quantitative super-resolution cytogenetics and mathematical modeling, this study investigated crossover positioning in Arabidopsis thaliana and found that the process can be explained by a predictive coarsening model. Altering the dosage of the E3 ligase HEI10 was shown to predictably modify crossover interference, suggesting a conserved mechanism may regulate crossover positioning in diverse eukaryotes.
