Mosses Reveal a Universal Genome‐Cell Size Relationship Across Land Plants Shaped by Shared Evolutionary Pressures

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Summary statement The relationship between genome size and cell size is present in all land plants including mosses, and is stronger in smaller cells. This relationship depends on environmental pressures, and affects plants differently depending on their dominant photosynthetic phase.
