...Moreover, DNA synthesis seldom takes up more than 50% of the cell cycle in eukaryotes (e.g. Van’t Hof, 1965; Evans & Rees, 1971; Evans et al., 1973)....

...More recently, some specific examples of mechanisms operating to constrain DNA expansion have been reported which speak against this notion; not surprisingly, these occur in organisms such as flighted vertebrates among whom low DNA contents might be expected on physiological grounds (e.g. Tiersch & Wachtel, 1991; Baker et al., 1992; Van Den Bussche, Longmire & Baker, 1995; Primmer et al., 1997)....

...This correlation between C-value and Sphase may result because of an imperfect scaling of replicon numbers with genome size (e.g. Van’t Hof, 1965; Evans & Rees, 1971; Evans et al., 1973) and}or as a function of a more asynchronous activation of dispersed replicons in genomes containing more DNA (e.g. Francis et al., 1985)....

...…strong negative association with the rates of both meiotic and mitotic cell division in a variety of organisms (e.g. Van’t Hof & Sparrow, 1963; Van’t Hof, 1965; Bennett, 1971; Evans et al., 1973; Nagl, 1974; Grosset & Odartchenko, 1975a, b ; Price & Bachmann, 1976; Rees et al., 1982; Horner &…...

...Early discussions suggested that this occurred because the extra DNA takes longer to replicate (that is, more DNA results in a longer Sphase) (Van’t Hof & Sparrow, 1963; Van’t Hof, 1965)....
