Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: This study reveals the diversity of GC content characteristics among major angiosperm groups, with Poaceae species exhibiting significantly higher GC content and more pronounced heterogeneity. These features are likely associated with GC-biased gene conversion. Genome nucleotide composition critically shapes plant genetic diversity, yet its variation across angiosperms remains poorly understood....
