Male-biased transmission of deleterious mutations to the progeny in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Apr 2003

Whittle Carrie-Ann, Johnston Mark O

Abstract excerpt

The extent and cause of male-biased mutation rates, the higher number of mutations in sperm than in eggs, is currently an active and controversial subject. Recent evidence indicates that this male (sperm) bias not only occurs in animals but also in plants. The higher mutation rate in plant sperm was inferred from rates of evolution of neutral DNA regions, and the results were confined to the mitochondria and...
