A phylogenomic approach reveals a low somatic mutation rate in a long-lived plant

2019-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Somatic mutations can have important effects on the life history, ecology, and evolution of plants, but the rate at which they accumulate is poorly understood, and has been very difficult to measure directly. Here, we demonstrate a novel method to measure somatic mutations in individual plants and use this approach to estimate the somatic mutation rate in a large, long-lived, phenotypically mosaic Eucalyptus mell...
