Abstract
Nuclear DNA amounts have been estimated for more than 200 angiosperm species since the last collected list of such values for about 750 species was published by Bennett & Smith in 1976 (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B 274, 227-274). These new estimates are either scattered in a wide range of scientific journals or, in many cases, unpublished; so they are not readily accessible. A publication, collecting these data in a single list is required. This paper contains a supplementary list of absolute DNA values, including estimates for 240 angiosperm species not listed by Bennett & Smith in 1976, as well as additional estimates for 41 species already listed by them. These data are assembled primarily for reference purposes. Consequently, the species are listed in alphabetical order, as this was felt to be more helpful to cyto- and biochemists, who it is anticipated will be among the major users.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
