Plant Genetic and Mutation Studies

A fast neutron mutant resource for Ipomoea purpurea reveals dose-dependent genomic and phenotypic variation

This study creates a fast neutron mutant library in Ipomoea purpurea, showing dose-dependent phenotypic and genetic variation in ecologically relevant traits.

simSOMA: a cell-lineage based simulator of the somatic VAF spectrum in plants

simSOMA links plant branching topology to meristem cell-lineage dynamics; in simulations, niche size and turnover drive fixation, while terminal organ growth produces most private low-frequency variants.
