Genome size is positively correlated with extinction risk in herbaceous angiosperms
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.10.557053v1
Large-genomed herbaceous plants have a higher risk of extinction, according to a study of over 3,000 species. This is attributed to constraints that limit these plants' adaptability. Interestingly, this correlation doesn't apply to woody species, suggesting a key role for genome size in plant resilience. 🌿
