Comparisons with Caenorhabditis (∼100 Mb) and Drosophila (∼175 Mb) Using Flow Cytometry Show Genome Size in Arabidopsis to be ∼157 Mb and thus ∼25 % Larger than the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative Estimate of ∼125 Mb (2003, methodology): “Ongoing need for complete sequencing of complex regions of the arabidopsis genome Accurate DNA C-value estimates are essential for a full understanding of plant and animal genomes (Bennett et al., 2000a).”
Beans (Phaseolus spp.) – model food legumes (2004, background): “…as major crops by the USDA, the genome size of beans (450–650 MBp/haploid genome – Bennett and Leitch, 1995) is small and comparable to that of rice (340–560 MBp/haploid genome – Bennett et al., 2000), which is generally considered to be the economically important plant with the smallest genome.”
Genome size, base composition and karyotype of Jatropha curcas L., an important biofuel plant (2008, neutral): “6 pg [28,29].”
Plant DNA flow cytometry and estimation of nuclear genome size. (2005, background): “Scientific disciplines, which profit from the knowledge of C-values, are numerous and include molecular biology, systematics and ecology (Bennett et al., 2000a).”
Genome size in Bulgarian Centaurea s.l. (Asteraceae) (2006, background): “Holoploid and monoploid genome size are taxonomically significant traits of fundamental biological importance (Bennett and Leitch 1995, 2005a; Bennett et al. 2000; Gregory 2003, 2005).”
Switchgrass Genomic Diversity, Ploidy, and Evolution: Novel Insights from a Network-Based SNP Discovery Protocol (2013, background): “Moreover, switchgrass has a relatively large genome size [2,3] and lacks a reference genome, both of which hamper the development of an effective marker system.”
Plant Genome Size Measurement with DNA Image Cytometry (2001, methodology): “Moreover, IC is per se a densitometric method, and may soon be the only method of this type available due to gradual retirement of microspectrophotometers (Bennett et al., 2000).”
