Parallel altitudinal clines reveal trends in adaptive evolution of genome size in Zea mays.

Parallel altitudinal clines reveal trends in adaptive evolution of genome size in Zea mays.

While the vast majority of genome size variation in plants is due to differences in repetitive sequence, we know little about how selection acts on repeat content in natural populations. Here we investigate parallel changes in intraspecific genome size and repeat content of domesticated maize (Zea m...
