Plants are proned to become poliploidic, and that is something we have been selecting for and even doing manually because of its benifits. Larger genomes resault in larger cells. Most plants are naturally diploidic, some are tetraploidic. If you look at most plants we eat, like fruiet vegetables and grain, most are between 4n and 8n,
As for frogs, they are just fucking weird....
If you actually look at the picture you provided, you will find that all multicellular eucaryotes genomes are in the 10^9 - 10^10 category, with 2-2 exeptions at the top and bottom. We haev normal sized genomes.
Not that that matters much, almost all of that is non coding DNA, which as far as we know mostly containes mobile genetic elements and is only usefull because it adds leangth which provides more variety in eucromatinysation/heterocromatynisation.
In tearms of actually coding bits, that is to say genes, we are roughly between grape and chicken... We arnet special geneticly speaking, neither are we more or less complex than the average multicellular organism.
