GC Content in Plant Genomes

Original language description

GC base pair content is an important character in the description of new taxa of prokaryotes, but its role in plant systematics and evolution is still poorly understood. Although GC content is positively correlated with genome size in bacteria and vertebrates (1) there is debate about how those two factors are related in plants. Barow and Meister (2) estimated base composition and genome size in 54 taxa of angiosperms and gymnosperms, and their findings did not support Vinogradov (1) proposition statingthat there is a positive correlation between GC content and genome size. More recently, Barow and Meister (3) confirmed that base composition and genome size were not correlated using an expanded sampling of 215 plant species measured by numerous authors over the last 14 years. Using flow cytometry methods (FCM) with PI and DAPI, we estimated base composition in closely related species of Apiaceae (16 spp.), Brassicaceae (30 spp.), Cyperaceae (135 spp.), Onagraceae (15 spp.), Poaceae (1
