Supporting Online Material: "...assuming that
there are around 30 to 40 cell divisions between a zygote and the gametes (primary source), which is close to the corresponding per cell division estimates for humans, Drosophila melanogaster, yeast, and bacteria (Lynch et al., 2008 PMID 18583475). However, there is considerable uncertainty about the average number of cell divisions per generation in A. thaliana." |
