Linking genome size variation to phenotypic selection on target traits.

Abstract excerpt

Genome size (GS) is known to be highly variable among angiosperm species. However, this variation can also occur within species. Both interspecific and intraspecific variations in GS have been often found to be linked to phenotypic traits. Therefore, selective pressures acting on these target traits may indirectly shape GS evolution within and among species. However, the processes linking selective pressures to...
