Transgenerational imprint of subindividual variation: somatic epigenetic divergence within trees cascades into epigenetic and phenotypic pollen divergence
2026-06-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The evolutionary significance of somatic mosaicism created within plants by random epigenetic drift or localized responses to the environment will rest on its transgenerational implications. This paper tests whether the epigenetic mosaicism exhibited by individuals of a long-lived tree leaves some discernible “imprint” in the next gametophytic generation. Paired samples of leaves and pollen from...
