Background and Aims If large genomes are truly saturated with unnecessary 'junk'DNA, it
would seem natural that there would be costs associated with accumulation and replication …

Peanut genomics is very challenging due to its inherent problem of genetic architecture.
Blockage of gene flow from diploid wild relatives to the tetraploid; cultivated peanut, recent …

All else being equal, polyploids are expected to have larger C-values (amount of DNA in the
unreplicated gametic nucleus) than their diploid progenitors, increasing in direct proportion …

Vingt et une amorces aléatoires et 29 SSR ont été employés pour mesurer la variation
génétique et les relations parmi les sous-espèces et variétés botaniques de l'arachide …

Haploid genome size (C-value) is correlated positively with cell size, and negatively with cell
division rate, in a variety of taxa. Because these associations are causative, genome size …

Background The 6 years since the last Angiosperm Genome Size Discussion Meeting in
1997 have experienced the decline of the then widely held idea of the 'plastic'genome …

The importance of genome size, as a useful taxonomic marker, has been stressed in many
studies based on different groups. A critical appraisal of intraspecific variability reported in …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the current state of knowledge
concerning genome size evolution in plants. It includes a review of available data, the …

Plant oils rich in oleate are considered superior products compared to oils rich in
polyunsaturated fatty acids. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the major oilseed crops …

The amount of DNA in the unreplicated haploid nuclear genome (itsC-value) varies over 600-
fold between angiosperm species. Information regarding this character is used in a strikingly …
