The evolution of genome size and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus organization was analysed
in 23 diploid species of Chenopodium sl, all of which share the same base chromosome …

Studies on Chenopodium chromosomes are scarce and restricted mainly to chromosome
number estimation. To extend our knowledge on karyotype structure of the genus, the …

The abundance and chromosomal organization of two repetitive sequences named 12-13P
and 18-24J were analyzed in 24 diploid and nine polyploid species of Chenopodium sl, with …

Tremendous interspecific genome size variation is a well known phenomenon, whereas
genome size within a species is supposed to be exceptionally stable and thus useful as a …

Most of the cultivated chenopods are polyploids, but their origin and evolutionary history are
still poorly understood. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences of four plastid regions …

Nuclear DNA amount of five species of Celosia ranging from 2x to 12x varies from 3.26 (2x)
to 9.70 pg (12x). The diploid C. trigyna has twice as much DNA/basic genome as other taxa …

The study of variation in nuclear genome size, especially when combined with common
garden experiments, significantly contributes to disentangling interspecies relationships …

The chromosomal organization of two novel repetitive DNA sequences isolated from the
Chenopodium quinoa Willd. genome was analyzed across the genomes of selected …

C. album L. complex is a heterogenous assemblage of many taxonomic entities of
cosmopolitan distribution. This is because many weedy and semi-domesticated forms have …

Molecular evolution of ribosomal DNA can be highly dynamic. Hundreds to thousands of
copies in the genome are subject to concerted evolution, which homogenizes sequence …
