- Title
The C-value enigma in plants and animals: a review of parallels and an appeal for partnership.
- Authors
Gregory, T Ryan
- Abstract
Plants and animals represent the first two kingdoms recognized, and remain the two best-studied groups in terms of nuclear DNA content variation. Unfortunately, the traditional chasm between botanists and zoologists has done much to prevent an integrated approach to resolving the C-value enigma, the long-standing puzzle surrounding the evolution of genome size. This grand division is both unnecessary and counterproductive, and the present review aims to illustrate the numerous links between the patterns and processes found in plants and animals so that a stronger unity can be developed in the future.
