Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal repeats occupy 5% of a plant genome, yet there has been little study of their diversity in the modern age of genomics. Ribosomal copy number and expression variation present an opportunity to tap a novel source of diversity. In the present study, we estimated the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expression for a population of maize inbred lines and investigated the potential...
