Anthocyanin inhibits propidium iodide DNA fluorescence in Euphorbia pulcherrima: implications for genome size variation and flow cytometryMichael D Bennett
Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot 101:777-90. 2008..By 1997 it was recognized that secondary metabolites may affect DNA staining, thereby causing inaccuracy. Here experiments are reported with poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) with green leaves and red bracts rich in phenolics...- Plant genome size research: a field in focusM D Bennett
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, UK
Ann Bot 95:1-6. 2005..The paper offers a vision of how increased knowledge and understanding of genome size will contribute to holisitic genomic studies in both plants and animals in the next decade... - Nuclear DNA amounts in angiosperms: progress, problems and prospectsM D Bennett
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, UK
Ann Bot 95:45-90. 2005..The last compilation was published in 2000, so a further supplementary list is timely to monitor progress against targets set at the first plant genome size workshop in 1997 and to facilitate new goal setting... - Comparisons with Caenorhabditis (approximately 100 Mb) and Drosophila (approximately 175 Mb) using flow cytometry show genome size in Arabidopsis to be approximately 157 Mb and thus approximately 25% larger than the Arabidopsis genome initiative estimate Michael D Bennett
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot 91:547-57. 2003.... - First nuclear DNA C-values for 18 eudicot familiesLynda Hanson
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot 96:1315-20. 2005..50 %) by 2009. The present study targeted eudicot families for which representation in 2003 (42.5 %) was much lower than monocot (72.8 %) and basal angiosperm (69.0 %) families... - First nuclear DNA C-values for 28 angiosperm generaLynda Hanson
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot (Lond) 91:31-8. 2003..Thus, completing familial representation for genome size for angiosperms may prove impossible in any short period, and progress towards this goal will become slower... - Evolution of DNA amounts across land plants (embryophyta)I J Leitch
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK
Ann Bot 95:207-17. 2005..g. Plant DNA C-values database; release 2.0, January 2003; http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/cval/homepage.html) together with improved consensus of relationships between and within land plant groups makes such an analysis timely... - Nuclear DNA C-values in 30 species double the familial representation in pteridophytesRenate Obermayer
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Richmond, Surrey, UK
Ann Bot (Lond) 90:209-17. 2002..7 pg in Psilotum nudum var. gasa. Superimposing C-value data onto a robust phylogeny of pteridophytes suggests some possible trends in C-value evolution and highlights areas for future work... - The origin, evolution and proposed stabilization of the terms 'genome size' and 'C-value' to describe nuclear DNA contentsJohann Greilhuber
Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna, Austria
Ann Bot 95:255-60. 2005..g. haploids, hybrids, etc.) which will need minor extensions of the present scheme in a future paper... - Eukaryotic genome size databasesT Ryan Gregory
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1, Canada
Nucleic Acids Res 35:D332-8. 2007.... - Correlated evolution of genome size and seed massJeremy M Beaulieu
Department of Biological Sciences, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407, USA
New Phytol 173:422-37. 2007..Plant growth form is the only variable examined thus far that explains a greater proportion of variation in seed mass than does genome size...
