THE EVOLUTION OF SINGLE-COPY NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES IN THE GENOMES OF GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.
Nuclear DNA content of the amphidiploid, G. hirsutum, and two closely related diploid species, G. herbaceum var. africanum and G. raimondii, was ascertained by the reassociation kinetics of 250 nucleotide DNA fragments. Between diploid species the difference in chromosome size is attributed largely...
