Branching architecture constrains the accumulation of somatic mutations in trees

2025-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Trees are long-lived plants that develop highly branched shoot systems over time. During growth, somatic mutations accumulate along these branching structures and can become fixed in reproductive tissues such as flowers and fruits. Because mature trees produce tens of thousands of terminal branches, each harboring potentially mutated gametes, limiting the accumulation of somatic mutations is critical to avoid muta...
