Abstract

The article offers information on the genome size evolution in maize. Topics discussed include component of eukaryotic genomes such as transposable elements; effects of DNA content on organismal phenotype; and the test for natural selection on genome size along with usage of a quantitative genetics framework to conduct a test of local adaptation, recognizing that genome size.
