Exploiting Genome Plasticity for the Detection of Hypervariable Sequences

  • Chapter
Molecular Tools for Screening Biodiversity

Abstract

As discussed previously, ‘plants are not green animals’ (1) in the sense that: (i) the differentiation of germinal and somatic cell lines occurs fairly late in plant development and is not as clear cut as in animals; (ii) in many cases, asexual propagation prevails in plants or occurs at the same time as sexual reproduction; (iii) the generation times of plants can be extremely long; (iv) somatic genome plasticity is much higher in plants than in animals and may improve individual adaptation, particularly in vegetatively propagated plant species and in general in long-lived species.
