Opportunities for improving phosphorus‐use efficiency in crop plants
Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

Why do chloroplasts and mitochondria contain so many copies of their genome?
AJ Bendich - BioEssays, 1987 - Wiley Online Library
The very high genome copy number in cytoplasmic organelles is a puzzling fact in cell
biology. It is proposed here that high copy number reflects an increased need for organellar …

Genome‐based estimates of fungal rDNA copy number variation across phylogenetic scales and ecological lifestyles
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number variation (CNV) has major physiological implications
for all organisms, but how it varies for fungi, an ecologically ubiquitous and important group …

Ribosomal RNA genes in plants: variability in copy number and in the intergenic spacer
SO Rogers, AJ Bendich - Plant molecular biology, 1987 - Springer
Ribosomal RNA genes in plants are highly variable both in copy number and in intergenic
spacer (IGS) length. This variability exists not only between distantly related species, but …

Hybridization and genome size evolution: timing and magnitude of nuclear DNA content increases in Helianthus homoploid hybrid species
EJ Baack, KD Whitney, LH Rieseberg - New Phytologist, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Hybridization and polyploidy can induce rapid genomic changes, including the gain or loss
of DNA, but the magnitude and timing of such changes are not well understood. The …

Transgenerational dynamics of rDNA copy number in Drosophila male germline stem cells
rDNA loci, composed of hundreds of tandemly duplicated arrays of rRNA genes, are known
to be among the most unstable genetic elements due to their repetitive nature. rDNA …
