Genome size diversity in angiosperms and its influence on gene space.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2015

Dodsworth Steven, Leitch Andrew R, Leitch Ilia J

Abstract excerpt

Genome size varies c. 2400-fold in angiosperms (flowering plants), although the range of genome size is skewed towards small genomes, with a mean genome size of 1C=5.7Gb. One of the most crucial factors governing genome size in angiosperms is the relative amount and activity of repetitive elements. Recently, there have been new insights into how these repeats, previously discarded as 'junk' DNA, can have a...
