Does climate influence genome size diversity? A study of genome size-environment associations across the Madagascar grass flora
Repetitive DNA accumulation and whole genome duplication are common across angiosperm lineages, resulting in some of the largest ever-recorded genomes, yet the majority of angiosperm species have small genomes. This suggests selection may be acting to reduce genome size (GS), and there is growing evidence of environmental factors influencing GS...Morton, Joseph
