The variation of base composition in plant genomes
Original language description
The proportions of the four nucleotides in DNA may vary significantly in various genome components and with different selective forces acting on particular sequences. Base composition is conventionally expressed as the percentage of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases (GC content) in a given region or for the entire genome (genomic GC content). Both the knowledge of mechanisms causing changes in GC content and their ecological consequences are fundamental for understanding genome evolution. The study ofGC content has a long tradition in prokaryotic biology and systematics, where it serves as an important criterion in taxa delimitation and predictions of life-styles, such as thermotolerance, growth rate or aerobiosis. The GC content of taxa also has been widely discussed in animal genomics, namely, in the consequences of the evolution of the isochore structure of humans and other warm-blooded vertebrates.
