Functional and ecological significance of rDNA intergenic spacer variation in a clonal organism under divergent selection for production rate.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Nov 2002

Abstract excerpt

It has recently been hypothesized that variation in the intergenic spacer (IGS) of rDNA has considerable developmental, evolutionary and ecological significance through effects on growth rate and body C : N : P stoichiometry resulting from the role of the IGS in production of rRNA. To test these ideas, we assessed changes in size and structure of the repetitive region of the IGS, juvenile growth rate (JGR), RNA...
