Antagonistic effects of whole-genome duplications and dysploidy on genome sizes in the pantropical monocot family Marantaceae: Consequences in the light of a new molecular phylogeny
Changes in chromosome number and structure, as well as alterations in genome size, are important cytological characters that often reflect speciation events. Due to a wide variety of previously reported chromosome numbers the species-rich arrowroot family (Marantaceae) is an ideal system to investig...
