Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus is a rod-shaped plant pathogen that can cause severe stunting and mosaic in susceptible wheat, barley and rye cultivars. [1] The disease has often been misdiagnosed as a nutritional problem, but this has actually allowed in part for the fortuitous visual selection by breeding programs of resistant genotypes.
Whatever may happen to those cells does not affect the next generation. The Weismann barrier, proposed by August Weismann, is the strict distinction between the "immortal" germ cell lineages producing gametes and "disposable" somatic cells in animals (but not plants), in contrast to Charles Darwin's proposed pangenesis mechanism for inheritance.
Somatic cells are more commonly used for genetic analysis because they are easier to obtain than gametes. If the disease is a result of pure germline mosaicism, then the disease causing mutant allele would never be present in the somatic cells. This is a source of uncertainty for genetic counselling. An individual may still be a carrier for a ...

For example, in mammals, somatic cells make up the internal organs, skin, bones, blood, and connective tissue. [1] In most animals, separation of germ cells from somatic cells (germline development) occurs during early stages of development. Once this segregation has occurred in the embryo, any mutation outside of the germline cells can not be ...
When it feeds on wheat, A. tosichella transmits the wheat streak mosaic virus. Infected plants show long yellow streaks, associated with some degree of chlorosis which may lead to death of the affected foliage. In Oklahoma, the disease usually appears in late April and early May when the weather warms up. [12]
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
Gonosomal mosaicism is a type of somatic mosaicism that occurs very early in the organisms development and thus is present within both germline and somatic cells. [1] [22] Somatic mosaicism is not generally inheritable as it does not usually affect germ cells. In the instance of gonosomal mosaicism, organisms have the potential to pass the ...
