| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Leaf and flower tissues were collected from the different branches of Japanese oak and maple of more than 100 years old using the Tomakomai Experimental Forest canopy observation crane system at Hokkaido University. The age of each branche was estimated by tree ring observation using fallen trees in Uryu Experimental Forest of Hokkaido University. Total DNA was extracted from each sample and genome sequence data of more than 100,000 bases at 1500 locus was obtained using the next generation sequencers installed in Tohoku University. Based on these sequence data, we found at least two mutations per the same individual. These mutations were carried over to new branches, implying the coexistence of cells with different genetic composition within an individual.
