Abstract excerpt
Robinia pseudoacacia L. is a clonal tree species. To investigate a mutation within eight microsatellite loci of R. pseudoacacia, we analyzed DNA samples obtained from different leaf samples within each ramet, leaves from ramets within the genet, and seeds. Of the eight loci, locus Rops15 (AG motif) displayed hypermutability. The mutation rates of Rops15 within each ramet, among ramets within the genet, and...
