Genome Size Diversity in Lilium (Liliaceae) Is Correlated with Karyotype and Environmental Traits
Genome size (GS) diversity is of fundamental biological importance. The occurrence of giant genomes in angiosperms is restricted to just a few lineages in the analyzed genome size of plant species so far. It is still an open question whether GS diversity is shaped by neutral or natural selection. Th...
