Genome Size Is a Strong Predictor of Root Meristem Growth Rate
Table 1
Genome size, elongation zone length, and root tip velocity for eight species of eudicots. Data are the means
SE of at least seven replicates.
| Species | Genome size | Elongation zone length | RMGR | (1C-value - Gbp) | (m) | (m ) |
| Citrullus vulgaris | 0.45 | | | Cucurbita pepo | 0.55 | | | Brassica rapa | 0.80 | | | Lycopersicon esculentum | 1.01 | | | Cosmos bipinnatus | 1.52 | | | Cosmos sulphureus | 2.94 | | | Capsicum annuum | 3.92 | | | Capsicum frutescens | 5.88 | | |
