Selection on major components of angiosperm genomes.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 25 Apr 2008

Gaut Brandon S, Ross-Ibarra Jeffrey

Abstract excerpt

Angiosperms are a relatively recent evolutionary innovation, but their genome sizes have diversified remarkably since their origin, at a rate beyond that of most other taxa. Genome size is often correlated with plant growth and ecology, and extremely large genomes may be limited both ecologically and evolutionarily. Yet the relationship between genome size and natural selection remains poorly understood. The...
