'Junk' DNA and phenotypic evolution in Silene section Siphonomorpha.

Genetics research - 1 Feb 2008

Meagher Thomas R, Costich Denise E

Abstract excerpt

One of the long-standing mysteries in genomic evolution is the observation that much of the genome is composed of repetitive DNA, resulting in inter- and intraspecific variation in nuclear DNA content. Our discovery of a negative correlation between nuclear DNA content and flower size in Silene latifolia has been supported by our subsequent investigation of changes in DNA content as a correlated response to...
