Somatic Mutations in meristem tissue in plants In angiosperm, in which layer of the meristem does a new mitotic mutation occurring has chance to be found in a pollen grain or in an ovule? I also welcome some insights about non-angiosperm plants.

You can see the wikipedia article on meristem.

The apical meristem differentiates into floral meristem that gives rise to flowers. From this the cells specifically expressing _APETALA3 (AP3), PISTILLATA (PI), AGAMOUS (AG) and SEPALLATA (SEP)_ would give rise to the stamen [[ref]](

CRC gene is essential for female development and plants lacking this will not produce pistils. So cells expressing this gene will give rise to female parts[[ref]](

Nonetheless mutation happening at any stage of the development of floral meristem can be transmitted to the pollens/ovules if the mutated cells stochastically give rise to that lineage.
