We report an analysis of the distribution of lengths of plant DNA (exons). Three species of Cucurbitaceae were investigated. In our study, we used two distinct κ distribution functions, namely, κ-Maxwellian and double-κ, to fit the length distributions. To determine which distribution has the best fitting, we made a Bayesian analysis of the models. Furthermore, we filtered the data, removing outliers, through a box plot analysis. Our findings show that the sum of κ-exponentials is the most appropriate to adjust the distribution curves and that the values of the κ parameter do not undergo considerable changes after filtering. Furthermore, for the analyzed species, there is a tendency for the κ parameter to lay within the interval (0.27;0.43).
