Population-level consequences of inheritable somatic mutations and the evolution of mutation rates in plants

2020-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Inbreeding depression, that is the decrease in fitness of inbred relative to outbred individuals, was shown to increase strongly as life expectancy increases in plants. Because plants are thought to not have a separated germline, it was proposed that this pattern could be generated by somatic mutations accumulating during growth, since larger and more long-lived species have more opportunities f...
