Types of Plant Chimera
The term “chimera” is applied to plant genetic mosaics where mosaicism is persistent and cells with two or more different genotypes coexist in a meristem. However, when describing mosaics in which cells with different genotypes are distributed all around the plant, the term can also be used. Chimeras form a large and heterogenous group of plants, and it is convenient to classify these in three different ways.

“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds....

—Stephanie Martson (20th century)

These dry leaves of his autumn.”

“When they turn the sun

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
