The sex chromosomes of haploid plants, including mosses and liverworts (members of the bryophytes) have been much less studied than those of diploid plants. However, it has long been known that having separate sexed individuals is much commoner in bryophytes (Perley and Jesson 2015), than in diploid plants (in which the proportion of dioecious species has consistently been estimated at around 5%(see Charlesworth 1985, Renner 2014, Yampolsky and Yampolsky 1922). Some plants of both types may not have genetic sex-determination (Pannell 1997, Tanurdzic and Banks 2004, Zimmerman 1991), but early cytogenetic studies in bryophytes observed heteromorphic sex chromosomes (Allen 1917; 1919), with the karyotypes of male and female gametophytes differing clearly. Unbiased estimates are not yet available, and species numbers studied are small, but the data (reviewed by Allen (1945) and Renner et al.(2017)) suggest that around half of separate sexed bryophyte species have visibly different sex chromosomes, at least as many as in dioecious diploid angiosperms (Ming et al. 2011, Westergaard 1958). Overall, therefore, many more bryophyte than angiosperm species are available for studying sex chromosomes.Bryophyte sex chromosomes have, however, been surprisingly neglected (Fig. 1), especially as the dominance of the haploid life cycle stage, the gametophyte stage, predicts interesting differences from the sex chromosomes of diploid plants or animals (Table 1 below). Moreover the free-living gametophytes are large, and can be collected and their genome sequences provide phased data, allowing the two sex chromosome sequences to be assembled separately, which is difficult in diploids where the Y chromosome has to be assembled in the XY males (or in ZW females in species with female heterogamety). Bryophyte sex chromosome sequences offer the opportunity to test the differences predicted between haploid and diploid systems (Bull 1978). Bull pointed out that, in the haploid plant life cycle, the diploid zygote ‘is produced by the union of a gamete from a female and one from a male and is therefore always heterozygous, XY. The diploid merely produces haploid spores’. Consequently, if a non-recombining, completely sex-linked region exists, both the male-and female-determining versions are nonrecombining, unlike in diploid flowering plants (or animals with XY systems), which have fully Y-linked regions, while the X-linked region crosses over in females. To emphasise this difference, the sex chromosomes in female and male gametophyte are no longer called X and Y, respectively, but are named U and V (Fig. 2). The recombination asymmetry between the sexes in diploids can explain why only Y chromosomes undergo genetic degeneration (Muller 1914). Since Y-linked mutations cannot cross over
