The relationship between nuclear DNA content and leaf strategy in seed plants.

Huw D HD Morgan and Mark M Westoby

Ann Bot 96(7):1321-30 (2005) PMID 16230323

Species' 2C-values (mass of DNA in G(1) phase 2n nuclei) vary by at least four orders of magnitude among seed plants. The 2C-value has been shown to be co-ordinated with a number of other species traits, and with environmental variables. A prediction that species 2C-values are negatively related to leaf life span (LL) and leaf mass per area (LMA) is tested. These leaf traits are components of a major dimension of ecological variation among plant species.

    We Aimed to study the effects of introgressive hybridization mutually on both Chloroplast and nuclear genomes. We sampled both pure and mixed populations of Q. alnifolia and Q. coccifera from several locations across their distribution Area in Cyprus. We analyzed the genetic variation within and bet...

    We explore how long rapidly accreting protostars Remain on the Hayashi track, implying large protostellar radii and weak Accretion luminosity feedback. We assess the potential role of energy Production in the nuclear core, and determine what regulates the evolution of Such protostars into quasi-star...

    Developing team members' nontechnical skills and providing organizational support are necessary to help ensure that MDTs are delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Recording dissent in decision making within the MDT is an important element, which should be defined further. The question of h...
