Abstract

Close
- Genome size variation, largely driven by repeat content, is poorly understood within and among populations, limiting our understanding of its significance for adaptation. Here we characterize intraspecific variation in genome size and repeat content across 186 individuals of Amaranthus tuberculatus, a ubiquitous native weed that shows flowering time adaptation to climate across its range and in response to agriculture. Sequence-based genome size estimates vary by up to 20% across individuals, consistent with the considerable variability in the abundance of transposable elements, unknown repeats, and rDNAs across individuals. The additive effect of this variation has important phenotypic consequences—individuals with more repeats, and thus larger genomes, show slower flowering times and growth rates. However, compared to newly-characterized gene copy number and polygenic nucleotide changes underlying variation in flowering time, we show that genome size is a marginal contributor. Differences in flowering time are reflected by genome size variation across sexes and marginally, habitats, while polygenic variation and a gene copy number variant within the ATP synthesis pathway show consistently stronger environmental clines than genome size. Repeat content nonetheless shows non-neutral distributions across the genome, and across latitudinal and environmental gradients, demonstrating the numerous governing processes that in turn influence quantitative genetic variation for phenotypes key to plant adaptation.
