Dodecaploid Xenopus longipes provides insight into the emergence of size scaling relationships during development.

ABSTRACT: Genome and cell size are strongly correlated across species¹^,²^,³^,⁴^,⁵^,⁶ and influence physiological traits like developmental rate.⁷^,⁸^,⁹^,¹⁰^,¹¹^,¹² Although size scaling features such as the nuclear-cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio are precisely maintained in adult tissues,¹³ it is unclear when during embryonic development size scaling relationships are established. Frogs of the genus Xenopus provide a model to investigate this question, since 29 extant Xenopus species vary in ploidy from 2 to 12 copies (N) of the ancestral frog genome, ranging from 20
