What is it about?

The amount of DNA in the nucleus of a cell is known as genome size and varies more extensively in plants than any other comparable group of eukaryotes. Accessing available data to enable large scale comparative analyses is essential for understanding the biological and evolutionary significance of such genome size diversity. This letter highlights the recent release of the Plant DNA C-values database - the largest online resource for genome size data available. It outlines what new data are now available, how to use the database and the latest insights into genome size diversity across the major land plant lineages and some algal lineages.
