The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions
Background Biological invasions are a major ecological and socio-economic problem in
many parts of the world. Despite an explosion of research in recent decades, much remains …

Transposable elements: an abundant and natural source of regulatory sequences for host genes
The fact that transposable elements (TEs) can influence host gene expression was first
recognized more than 50 years ago. However, since that time, TEs have been widely …

The largest eukaryotic genome of them all?
We report the largest eukaryotic genome to date in the monocot Paris japonica

Mechanisms of recent genome size variation in flowering plants
JL Bennetzen, J Ma, KM Devos - Annals of botany, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims Plant nuclear genomes vary tremendously in DNA content, mostly
due to differences in ancestral ploidy and variation in the degree of transposon amplification …

The large genome constraint hypothesis: evolution, ecology and phenotype
Background and Aims If large genomes are truly saturated with unnecessary 'junk'DNA, it
would seem natural that there would be costs associated with accumulation and replication …

Genome duplication in amphibians and fish: an extended synthesis
Whole genome duplication (leading to polyploidy) is widely accepted as an important
evolutionary force in plants, but it is less recognized as a driver of animal diversification …

Why repetitive DNA is essential to genome function
JA Shapiro, R von Sternberg - Biological Reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
There are clear theoretical reasons and many well-documented examples which show that
repetitive DNA is essential for genome function. Generic repeated signals in the DNA are …
