Plants differ from animals in their capability to easily regenerate fertile adult individuals terminally differentiated cells. This unique developmental plasticity is commonly observed nature, where many species can reproduce asexually through the ectopic initiation of organogenic or embryogenic programs. While organ-specific epigenetic marks are not passed on during sexual reproduction, fate asexual reproduction and implications for clonal progeny remain unclear. Here we report that...

Aberrant repair of DNA double-strand breaks can recombine distant chromosomal breakpoints. Chromosomal rearrangements compromise genome function and are a hallmark ageing. Rearrangements challenging to detect in non-dividing cell populations, because they reflect individually rare, heterogeneous events. The genomic distribution de novo cells, their dynamics during ageing, remain therefore poorly characterized. Studies instability ageing have focussed on mitochondrial DNA, small genetic...

Abstract Plants differ from animals in their capability to easily regenerate fertile adult individuals terminally differentiated cells [1]. This unique developmental plasticity is commonly observed nature where many species can reproduce asexually through the ectopic initiation of organogenic or embryogenic programs [2, 3]. However, it not currently known if this reprogramming coupled a global epigenomic resetting, what impact has on phenotype clonal progeny. Here we show that plants...
