متن کاملIntra-specific variation in genome size in maize: cytological and phenotypic correlates
Genome size variation accompanies the diversification and evolution of many plant species. Relationships between DNA amount and phenotypic and cytological characteristics form the basis of most hypotheses that ascribe a biological role to genome size. The goal of the present research was to investigate the intra-specific variation in the DNA content in maize populations from Northeastern Argent...
متن کاملPolyploidy: genome obesity and its consequences.
Polyploidy is a major evolutionary feature of many plants and some animals (Grant, 1981;Otto & Whitton, 2000). Allopolyploids (e.g. wheat, cotton, and canola) were formed by combination of two or more distinct genomes, whereas autopolyploids (e.g. potato, sugarcane, and banana) resulted from duplication of a single genome. Both allopolyploids and autopolyploids are prevalent in nature (Tate et ...
متن کاملGenome size variation in lepidopteran insects
Little information is available on genome size diversity among insects, even in otherwise well-studied groups such as the Lepidoptera. In fact, only six lepidopteran species have been studied to date. The present study therefore represents the first attempt to survey genome size variation in this group, giving estimates for more than 50 species and increasing the coverage of the order to 15 fam...
متن کاملGenome size variation in deep-sea amphipods
Genome size varies considerably across taxa, and extensive research effort has gone into understanding whether variation can be explained by differences in key ecological and life-history traits among species. The extreme environmental conditions that characterize the deep sea have been hypothesized to promote large genome sizes in eukaryotes. Here we test this supposition by examining genome s...
