Abstract

In the original language

To gain insights into when and where genome size expansion took place during the evolution of Liliaceae and the mode and tempo of this change, data for 78 species were superimposed onto a phylogenetic tree and analysed. Results suggest that genome size in Liliaceae followed a punctuated rather than gradual mode of evolution and that most of the diversification evolved recently rather than early in the evolution of the family. We consider that the large genome sizes of Liliaceae may have emerged passively rather than being driven primarily by selection.

In Czech

Velikost jaderného genomu byla analyzována u 75 zástupců čeledi Liliaceae. Bylo zjištěno, že evoluce velikosti genomu v čel. Liliaceae neprobíhala pozvolna, ale "skokovitě".
