Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: In organisms with holocentric chromosomes like Carex species, chromosome number evolution has been hypothesized to be a result of fission, fusion, and/or translocation events. Negative, positive, or the absence of correlations have been found between chromosome number and genome size in Carex. METHODS: Using the inferred diploid chromosome number and 80 genome size measurements from 26...
