Genome size and ploidy influence angiosperm species' biomass under nitrogen and phosphorus limitation

MS Guignard, RA Nichols, RJ Knell… - New …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Angiosperm genome sizes (GS) range c. 2400‐fold, and as nucleic acids are amongst the

Polyploidy and high environmental tolerance increase the invasive success of plants

RF Moura, D Queiroga, E Vilela, AP Moraes - Journal of Plant Research, 2021 - Springer
Ploidy level and genome size (GS) could affect the invasive capacity of plants, although
these parameters can be contradictory. While small GS seems to favor dispersion …
