Species Distribution and Properties of Nuclear Satellite DNA in Higher Plants

Nature New Biology volume 242, pages193–197(1973)Cite this article

Abstract

Among dicots, satellite DNA was most abundant in the Cucurbitaceae and the Rutaceae. No satellite resolvable on CsCl gradients was found in monocots. The size range, homogeneity and complexity of satellite DNA were also studied.
