In contrast, the rise, evolution and demise of U/V systems has remained an enigma. Here we analyse genomes of nine brown algal species with different sexual systems to determine the history of their sex determination. U/V sex chromosomes emerged between 450 and 224 million years ago, when a region containing the pivotal male-determinant MIN ceased recombining. Seven ancestral genes within the sex-determining region show remarkable conservation over this vast evolutionary time, although nested inversions caused expansions of the sex locus, independently in each lineage. We evaluate whether these expansions are associated with increased morphological complexity and sexual differentiation, and show that taxonomically restricted genes evolve unexpectedly often in U and V chromosomes. We also investigate two situations in which U/V-linked regions have changed. First, we demonstrate that convergent evolution of two monoicous species occurred by ancestral males acquiring U-specific genes. Second, the Fucus dioecious system involves new sex-determining gene(s), acting upstream of formerly V-specific genes during development. Both situations have led to the demise of U and V chromosomes and erosion of their specific genomic characteristics.
