When genome size changes and hybrid vigor?
by James in James and the Giant Corn
A group of researchers at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic study how different members of the same grass species (Festuca pallens) have different total amounts of DNA per cell. have a new paper out in New Phytologist they found that plants with the most unusual genome sizes (really big or really small) are less [...]...

I was recently pointed to an early publication paper that went up on the Proceedings [...]... Read more »
