Table 1. Number of rDNA FISH signals in interphase nuclei and gene copy number estimates for liverwort (Marchantiophyta) and moss (Bryophyta) species jointly analysed (excepting Physcomitrella patens).
Genome size values were taken from Bennet and Leitch [38]. The number of rDNA copies were determined by qPCR or calculated from whole genomic sequences (indicated by an asterisk). nd: not determined.
