Mechanisms of recent genome size variation in flowering plants.

Annals of botany - 1 Jan 2005

Bennetzen Jeffrey L, Ma Jianxin, Devos Katrien M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant nuclear genomes vary tremendously in DNA content, mostly due to differences in ancestral ploidy and variation in the degree of transposon amplification. These processes can increase genome size, but little is known about mechanisms of genome shrinkage and the degree to which these can attenuate or reverse genome expansion. This research focuses on characterizing DNA removal from the...
