Abstract excerpt
The genus Passiflora L. comprises approximately 650 species, and exhibits high diversity in the Neotropics, especially the subgenus Passiflora. Several species of this subgenus have an abundant repetitive fraction, consistent with their increased genome sizes. However, the repetitive DNA fraction of Passiflora foetida (n = 10), sister to the other species of the subgenus (n = 9) and the species with the smallest...
