A direct Feulgen-cytophotometric comparison of the genomic DNA content (C value) was performed between the liliaceous plant species Allium cepa and a number of animal species to reassess the genome size ratios between plants and animals. These appeared unduly ambiguous as a consequence of divergent picogram estimates in several animal reference species. Taking 1C = 16.75 pg for Allium cepa, the estimates were (1C value in picograms): man, 3.11; Indian muntjak CCL 157 cell line, 2.68; domestic pig, 2.79; Chinese hamster, 2.66; CHO cell line, 2.73; laboratory rat, 2.65; mouse, 3.04; rat kangaroo Pt-K2 cell line, 4.21; fowl, 1.16; and the green toad, 4.30. These values are consistent with a number of independent absolute and relative DNA content determinations reported for animals, and therefore define a coherent set of animal and plant reference values for genome size determinations.
对葱属植物洋葱和一些动物物种的基因组DNA含量（C值）进行了直接的福尔根细胞光度测定比较，以重新评估植物和动物之间的基因组大小比率。由于几种动物参考物种的皮克估计值存在差异，这些比率显得异常模糊。以洋葱的1C = 16.75皮克为基准，估计值如下（皮克为单位的1C值）：人类，3.11；印度麂CCL 157细胞系，2.68；家猪，2.79；中国仓鼠，2.66；CHO细胞系，2.73；实验大鼠，2.65；小鼠，3.04；大鼠袋鼠Pt-K2细胞系，4.21；家禽，1.16；绿蟾蜍，4.30。这些值与报道的许多关于动物的独立绝对和相对DNA含量测定结果一致，因此为基因组大小测定定义了一组连贯的动植物参考值。
