Out today in Nature: sex without crossovers. Rhynchospora tenuis makes pollen, fertilises and sets seed, yet 0 crossovers in 10,997 pollen nuclei. Chromosome drive and ~87% seed abortion rebuild the mother's genotype, so the offspring are clones. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A diagram with two parts: the first part has four identical cartoon chromosomes in a cell (representing no subgenome differentiation) leading to meiotic cells with cartoon chromosomes representing 1) 100% bivalents (only chromosome pairs), 2) intermediate: some bivalents, some tetravalents and 3) 100% tetravalents. The second part shows genetically distinct subgenomes, represented by four chromosomes where two pairs each share the same color scheme. This outcome then leads (indicated by arrows) to cells showing each of 2) intermediate pairing: some bivalents, some tetravalents; 3) 100% tetravalents, 4) no pairing preferences, 5) some pairing preferences but not 100%, 6) preference for different genome pairs and 7) preference for same-genome pairs.
