Scheme representing hypothetical recombination events between homologous chromosomes derived from distinct genomes (i.e. from homoploid hybridization) leading to chromosome arm exchanges, which would result in different genome sizes. The colours represent the distinct genomic origin of chromosomes and chromosome arms. Arrows indicate the direction of the recombination events and dash lines show the hypothetical chromosome segments that are exchanged.
