Article Synopsis
- The study reveals significant genomic variation among cells within individual woody plants, indicating that even cells in the same organism can have distinct genomes.
- The greatest genetic differences were found between leaf genomes at the top branches compared to lower parts of the tree.
- This variation is thought to result from the accumulation of mutations over generations, suggesting that the distance between cells corresponds to the number of divisions they have undergone.
