Against the long-lasting dismissal of evolutionary significance of subindividual variation in plants, we show in this preprint that intraplant epigenetic mosaicism of somatic tissue (leaves) predicts the epigenetic and phenotypic divergence of pollen within the plant

The evolutionary significance of somatic mosaicism created within plants by random epigenetic drift or localized responses to the environment will rest on its transgenerational implications. This pape...
