'Junk' DNA and long-term phenotypic evolution in Silene section Elisanthe (Caryophyllaceae).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2004

Meagher Thomas R, Costich Denise E

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear DNA content variation over orders of magnitude across species has been attributed to 'junk' repetitive DNA with limited adaptive significance. By contrast, our previous work on Silene latifolia showed that DNA content is negatively correlated with flower size, a character of clear adaptive relevance. The present paper explores this relationship in a broader phylogenetic context to investigate the...
