Frequency of chimerism in populations of the kelp Lessonia spicata in central Chile.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

González Alejandra V, Santelices Bernabé

Abstract excerpt

Chimerism occurs when two genetically distinct conspecific individuals fuse together generating a single entity. Coalescence and chimerism in red seaweeds has been positively related to an increase in body size, and the consequent reduction in susceptibility to mortality factors, thus increasing survival, reproductive potential and tolerance to stress in contrast to genetically homogeneous organisms. In addition,...
