Somatic evolution of stem cell mutations in long-lived plants

2025-01-15

Abstract excerpt

Long-lived perennial plants accumulate numerous somatic mutations with age. Mutations originating in stem cells at the shoot apex often become fixed in large sectors of the plant body due to cell lineage drift during repeated branching. Understanding the somatic evolution of such mutations requires knowledge of the effective stem cell population size, the cellular bottleneck strength during branch initiation, and...
