Meiosis drives extraordinary genome plasticity in the haploid fungal plant pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola.

Meiosis in the haploid plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola results in eight ascospores due to a mitotic division following the two meiotic divisions. The transient diploid phase allows for recombination among homologous chromosomes. However, some chromosomes of M. graminicola lack hom...
