New Record Holders for Maximum Genome Size in Eudicots and Monocots

[摘要] This paper presents the largest genome sizes reported so far for angiosperms: for the monocotsTrillium hagae(Melanthiaceae)2C=264.9 pg and for the eudicotsViscum album(Santalaceae) with2C=205.8 pg. They were found during ongoing measurements of nuclear DNA content in more than 4000 accessions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that both of the values for the largest genome size so far for the monocots ofFritillaria assyriacaand for the eudicots ofViscum cruciatumneed to be corrected.
