Abstract excerpt
Nuclear genome size variation was studied in eight taxa of Passiflora. Nuclear DNA content was estimated by flow cytometry of nuclei stained by propidium iodide. 2C DNA content ranged from 3.16-5.36 pg for diploids and 1.83 pg for tetraploid. Differences in nuclear genome size were observed among Passiflora species (pg): P. suberosa 1.83, P. edulis f. edulis 3.16, P. edulis f. flavicarpa (Brazil) 3.19, P. edulis...
