  1. Genome sizes measured as 1Cx-values in pg. Arabidopsis thaliana was used as absolute reference of genome size (1135 Mbp, TAIR: http://www.arabidopsis.org) with standard deviation (SD) provided. All genome size data were extrapolated as haploid genome size (1C) accordingly to achieve absolute genome sizes in Mbp. Arabidopsis lyrata from North America served as second and independent control since its genome has been also sequenced and fully annotated 2(207 Mbp [46]). Ploidy level is given in brackets after the respective taxon name. (N: number of individuals analyzed).
