Somatic mutations as a useful tool for studying clonal dynamics in trees.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2008

Heinze Berthold, Fussi Barbara

Abstract excerpt

The seemingly eternal cycles of clonal growth in many tree species, with members of Populus (aspen, poplars, cottonwoods and the like) featuring most prominently, provoke a number of questions on the interface between ecology, genetics and forestry. In this issue, two groups present their approaches to clonal dynamics (Ally et al. 2008 and Mock et al. 2008), using microsatellite (or simple sequence repeat, SSR)...
