  1. Genome size shown is the haploid (1c) peak normalized by DAPI beads (see Methods); values are shown +/- standard deviation where applicable. Asterisks show significantly different genome size with regard to P. patens (one-sided t-test, p < 0.05). °genome size for Gransden = 1.02 +/- 0.14, Villersexel “K3” = 0.87, Del Valle Lake (californica sensu Tan) = 0.75; for further details see Additional file 5: Table S3. For Physcomitrella, the revised taxon name according to the new classification proposed here is listed on the left, while the former name of the subspecies is listed on the right.
