Thermal stress accelerates Arabidopsis thaliana mutation rate
Mutations are the source of both genetic diversity and mutational load. However, the effects of increasing environmental temperature on plant mutation rates and relative impact on specific mutational classes (e.g., insertion/deletion [indel] vs. single nucleotide variant [SNV]) are unknown.
