On the potential for evolutionary change in meristematic cell lineages through intraorganismal selection

In the absence of sexual recombination somatic mutations represent the only source of genetic variation in clonally propagating plants. We analyse the probability of such somatic mutations in the shoot apical meristem being fixed in descendant generations of meristems. A model of meristem cell dynam...
