To account for possible clonal variation, we analyzed three GLIS3−/− clones (KO22, KO28 and KO29) and two wild type (WT) clones (WT2 and WT7) along with the parental HES3 line (WT (PL)).
Coutinho, C. P., de Carvalho, C. C., Madeira, A., Pinto-de-Oliveira, A. & Sa-Correia, I. Burkholderia cenocepacia phenotypic clonal variation during a 3.5-year colonization in the lungs of a cystic fibrosis patient.
Clonal variation in biomass distribution patterns helped explain variation in growth efficiency between the narrow crown clone (ARB-1) and wide crown clone (ARB-4).
This study determined root length and biomass of young trees from three different-sized stem sections and quantified clonal variation.
The differences between all clones in TRL TRM ratio indicated clonal variation in root development and morphology.
Clonal variation in trees from cuttings was found for both mean total root mass (10.4 45.9 g) and total root length (3.5 11.8 m).
The findings presented here suggest the existence of clonal variation in host susceptibility to Phytophthora pluvialis/red needle cast (Table 1, Figure 9).
Non-genetic diversity may therefore play a greater role in clonal variation than previously thought.
These results are consistent among four different clones of each transfectant and therefore are not due to clonal variation.
Indeed, we show in this study that intraclonal heterogeneity contributes materially to clonal variation and even to the apparent instability of expression over time.
In addition, WT MEFs cells transfected with caspase-3/7 siRNAs also presented significant increase in the radiation sensitivity, suggesting that these results are not due to clonal variation of these cells (data not shown).
