Abstract excerpt
In higher plants, the large-scale structure of monocentric chromosomes consists of distinguishable eu- and heterochromatic regions, the proportions and organization of which depend on a species' genome size. To determine whether the same interplay is maintained for holocentric chromosomes, we investigated the distribution of repetitive sequences and epigenetic marks in the woodrush Luzula elegans (3.81 Gbp/1C)....
