The DNA amount in the unreplicated gametic nucleus of an organism is referred to as its C-value, irrespective of the ploidy level of the taxon. The Plant DNA C-values Database currently contains data for 7058 plant species. It combines data from the Angiosperm DNA C-values Database (release 7.0, Dec 2010), Gymnosperm DNA C-values Database (release 4.0, Dec. 2010), the Pteridophyte DNA C-values Database (release 4.0, Dec. 2010), the Bryophyte DNA C-values Database (release 3.0, Dec. 2010), together with the addition of the Algae DNA C-values database (release 1.0, Dec. 2004).
