Evidence for the evolution of multiple genomes in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Nature - 13 Dec 2001

Kuhn G, Hijri M, Sanders I R

Abstract excerpt

Ancient asexuals directly contradict the evolutionary theories that explain why organisms should evolve a sexual life history. The mutualistic, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are thought to have been asexual for approximately 400 million years. In the absence of sex, highly divergent descendants of formerly allelic nucleotide sequences are thought to evolve in a genome. In mycorrhizal fungi, where individual...
