- Abstract
Intraorganismal genetic heterogeneity (IGH) exists when an individual organism harbors more than one genotype among its cells. In general, intercellular DNA diversity occurs at a very low frequency and cannot be directly detected by DNA sequencing from bulk tissue. In this study, based on Sanger and high-throughput sequencing, different species, different organs, different DNA segments and a single cell were employed to characterize nucleotide mutations in Leymus chinensis. The results demonstrated that 1) the nuclear DNA showed excessive genetic heterogeneity among cells of an individual leaf or seed but the chloroplast genes remained consistent; 2) a high density of SNPs was found in the variants of the unique DNA sequence, and the similar SNP profile shared between the leaf and seed suggested that nucleotide mutation followed a certain rule and was not random; and 3) the mutation rate decreased from the genomic DNA sequence to the corresponding protein sequence. Our results suggested that Leymus chinensis seemed to consist of a collection of cells with different genetic backgrounds.
