Inheritance of somatic mutations can affect fitness in monkeyflowers

2024-05-22

Abstract excerpt

Plants possess the unique ability to transmit mutations to progeny that arise both through meiotic and mitotic (somatic) cell divisions. This is because the same meristem cells responsible for vegetative growth also generate gametes for sexual reproduction. Despite the potential for somatic mutations to be an additional source of genetic variation for adaptation, their role in plant evolution remains largely unexp...
