Study of spontaneous mutations in the transmission of poplar chloroplast genomes from mother to offspring

Abstract Background Chloroplasts have their own genomes, independent from nuclear genomes, that play vital roles in growth, which is a major targeted trait for genetic improvement in Populus. Angiosperm chloroplast genomes are maternally inherited, but the chloroplast’ variation pattern of poplar at...
