Popis | Variation in genome size found within species and populations offers unique possibility to study ongoing processes of genome size evolution. In a Festuca pallens population with the constant chromosome number we documented recently a high variation in genome size (up to 1.188-fold) that we assume to be a probable consequence of recent retrotransposon activity. Here we tested this hypothesis by studying sequence diversity and copy number of some candidate retrotransposon types in several seedlings with constrasting genome sizes. |
