Genome Size Is a Strong Predictor of Root Meristem Growth Rate
Figure 1
(a) The relationship between genome size (GS) reported in gigabasepairs, and root meristem growth rate (RMGR) for eight eudicot species with the best fit exponential regression line. Error bars are the standard error of the mean for seven replicates for each species. (b) Frequency distribution of genome sizes for eudicots with the best fit line from (a) overlaid.
