Ageing: How Do Long-Lived Plants Escape Mutational Meltdown?

Current biology : CB - 11 Jul 2016

Groot Edwin P, Laux Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Some plants can live for thousands of years, facing the problem of preventing accumulation of deleterious mutations. A recent study shows that massive tree stature requires surprisingly few stem cell divisions, and that the mutational load is not proportional to stature, but to branching order.
