How plants minimize somatic evolution

2021-02-14

Abstract excerpt

A remarkable property of plants is their ability to accumulate mutations at a very slow pace despite their potentially long lifespans, during which they continually form buds, each with the potential to become a new branch. Because replication errors in cell division represent an unavoidable source of mutations, minimizing mutation accumulation requires the minimization of cell divisions. Here we show that there e...
