• A Snapshot of the Emerging Tomato Genome Sequence (2009, background): “As a consequence, the eff ort to sequence the majority of the gene space is less than twice the eff ort required to sequence the Arabidopsis genome at 157 Mb (Bennett et al., 2003).”
• Genome downsizing in polyploid plants (2004, background): “…‘Introduction’, DNA sequencing has revealed that even Arabidopsis, long considered a classical diploid with 2n = 10 and a small C-value of 0.16 pg (Bennett et al., 2003), is not only a polyploid (Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000) but may have undergone at least two and possibly three or four…”
• Widespread genome duplications throughout the history of flowering plants. (2006, background): “Despite the small size of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome (157 Mb) (Bennett et al. 2003), recent investigations have revealed two or more rounds of ancient genome duplications (Vision et al. 2000; Simillion et al. 2002; Bowers et al. 2003).”
• Strawberry Genes and Genomics (2006, methodology): “The estimates obtained by Akiyama have been adjusted here to reflect Bennett’s correction (Bennett et al., 2003).”
• Genome size in Bulgarian Centaurea s.l. (Asteraceae) (2006, background): “Spring-flowering herbs such as Arabidopsis thaliana (1C = 0.16 pg; Krisai and Greilhuber 1997, Bennett et al. 2003) with its extremely low C- and Cxvalue can serve as an example.”
• Plant DNA flow cytometry and estimation of nuclear genome size. (2005, positive): “Bennett et al. (2003) took the advantage of this fact and compared the genome of C. elegans with that of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant species to be sequenced.”
• The largest eukaryotic genome of them all (2010, neutral): “(157 Mbp; Bennett et al., 2003).”
