01Narrative

Chaptalia texana, common name silverpuff , is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico.Tropicos, Chaptalia texana GreeneNew Mexico Rare Plants Chaptalia texana is a perennial plant growing from a large root. Leaves are in a basal rosette close to the ground, with dense woolly hairs on the underside but not on top. There is generally only one flower head, held on an unbranched stalk; head is nodding (hanging) at fruiting time but not at flowering time. Flowers are cream-colored, turning reddish as they get old.Flora of North America, Silverpuff, Chaptalia texana GreeneGreene, Edward Lee 1906.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Chaptalia texana has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Chaptalia texana carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.
