Plant Genome Diversity Volume 2
Original language description
The book closes with chapters that consider the whole genome in bulk. Leitch and Leitch (Chap. 19) take advantage of the recent increase in the number of species with genome size data and provide a comprehensive review on diversity of genome sizes acrossall groups of land plants. Evaluation of individual groups suggests that most plant genomes are rather small, probably due to strong selection pressure to limit genome size. Importantly, the chapter also considers how the diversity in genome size mighthave evolved. The last chapter of this volume by Greilhuber and Leitch (Chap. 20) examines the phenotypic correlates of variation in genome size, which include cell size and cell division rate. It also discusses the theories to explain the causality behind this variation observed, considers alternative views, and puts important studies into focus.
