Genetic diversity within a tree and alternative indexes for different evolutionary effects
2024-02-25
Abstract excerpt
Trees, living for centuries, accumulate somatic mutations in their growing trunks and branches, causing genetic divergence within a single tree. Stem cell lineages in a shoot apical meristem accumulate mutations independently and diverge from each other. In plants, somatic mutations can alter the genetic composition of reproductive organs and gametes, impacting future generations. To evaluate the genetic variation...
