Holocentric chromosomes: from tolerance to fragmentation to colonization of the land.

Annals of botany - 25 Jan 2018

Zedek František, Bureš Petr

Abstract excerpt

Background: The dispersed occurrence of holocentric chromosomes across eukaryotes implies they are adaptive, but the conditions under which they confer an advantage over monocentric chromosomes remain unclear. Due to their extended kinetochore and the attachment of spindle microtubules along their entire length, holocentric chromosomes tolerate fragmentation; hence, they may be advantageous in times of exposure...
