Plants show similar variation, with one—the fork fern (Tmesipteris oblanceolata)—holding the record for the largest genome, ...

Now, he has proved himself wrong. “The main interest of this project is not to find a record for genome size in plants, to be honest,” Pellicer said. “We want to investigate different cases ...

Ever since the first general surveys of nuclear DNA content were carried out in the early 1950s, it has been apparent that eukaryotic genome sizes vary enormously and that this is unrelated to ...

Banana through the Global Musa Genomics Consortium and programme considering its small genome size has a chance of becoming a model plant for vegetatively propagated crops. This has led to the ...

The innermost matrix of chloroplasts, called the stroma, contains metabolic enzymes and multiple copies of the chloroplast genome ... space. Plant cells use vacuoles to adjust their size and ...

We apply genomics, genetics, physiology and cell biology to understand the processes of plant genome dynamics, and exploit genome structural knowledge to develop tools and know-how for plant breeding.

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab.
