Aims Plants and animals represent the first two kingdoms recognized, and remain the two
best-studied groups in terms of nuclear DNA content variation. Unfortunately, the traditional …

Background and Aims Multicellular eukaryotic algae are phylogenetically disparate. Nuclear
DNA content estimates have been published for fewer than 1% of the described species of …

Simple Summary The amount of hereditary information (DNA) contained in the cell nuclei of
larger or more complex organisms is often no greater than that of smaller or simpler …

B. Stuercke & DW Freshwater. 2008. Consistency of morphological characters used to
delimit Polysiphonia sensu lato species (Ceramiales, Florideophyceae): analyses of North …

We tested the hypothesis that hypertrophic muscle growth in decapod crustaceans is
associated with increases in both the number of nuclei per fiber and nuclear DNA content …

Background and aims Brown algae are critical components of marine ecosystems around
the world. However, the genome of only one species of the class has so far been …

Ploidy variants can be utilized to increase yield, introduce sterility, and modify specific traits
with an economic impact. Despite economic importance of Saccharina species, their nuclear …

Muscle fiber hypertrophic growth can lead to an increase in the myonuclear domain (MND),
leading to greater diffusion distances within the cytoplasmic volume that each nucleus …

Background and aims The red algae are an evolutionarily ancient group of predominantly
marine organisms with an estimated 6000 species. Consensus higher-level molecular …
