Clonal Integration Promotes the Photosynthesis of Clonal Plant Under Heterogeneous Pb and/or Pyrene Stress [PDF]
ToxicsClonal plants can support the growth of their ramets in heterogeneous environments through clonal integration between the ramets. However, the role of clonal integration in modulating ramet photosynthesis under toxic stress, especially combined stress ...

Clonal integration enhances the performance of a clonal plant species under soil alkalinity stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Clonal plants have been shown to successfully survive in stressful environments, including salinity stress, drought and depleted nutrients through clonal integration between original and subsequent ramets.

Clonal integration benefits an invader in heterogeneous environments with reciprocal patchiness of resources, but not its native congener [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Many of the world’s most invasive plants are clonal, and clonal functional traits are suggested to contribute to their invasiveness. Clonal integration is one of the most important clonal functional traits, but it is still unclear whether clonal ...

Clonal integration promotes the growth of Phragmites australis populations in saline wetlands of the Yellow River Delta [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Estuarine wetlands are highly heterogeneous due to strong interactions between freshwater input and seawater intrusion. However, little is known about how clonal plant populations adapt to heterogeneous salinity in soil environments. In the present study,

The Plant Invader Alternanthera philoxeroides Benefits from Clonal Integration More than Its Native Co-Genus in Response to Patch Contrast [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Different connected parts of clonal plants often grow in different patches and the resource contrast between patches has an important effect on the material transfer between the connected ramets.

Effects of clonal integration and nutrient availability on the growth of Glechoma longituba under heterogenous light conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionClonal integration of connected ramets within clones is an important ecological advantage. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the effects of clonal integration on performance of donor and recipient ramets when one resource is ...

Heterogeneous Nitrogen Supply With High Frequency and Ramet Damage Increases the Benefits of Clonal Integration in Invasive Hydrocotyle vulgaris [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly affects the growth and the function of invasive clonal plants. However, the effects of heterogeneous N supply with different frequencies on the growth and the potential contribution of clonal integration in invasion ...

Clonal integration and Bacillus subtilis modulate Glechoma longituba performance and soil microbial communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMany medicinal plants exhibit clonality, but the impact of clonal integration and its interaction with exogenous microbial agents on these plants remains unknown. In order to investigate this, we conducted a greenhouse experiment using Glechoma longituba,

Flower Position and Clonal Integration Drive Intra-Individual Floral Trait Variation in Water-Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes, Pontederiaceae) [PDF]
BiologyIntra-individual variation in floral traits is linked to plant fitness, playing a central role in sexual selection. This variation can arise from architectural constraints, such as flower position on the inflorescence axis, and from environmental factors.

The effects of clonal integration and earthworms on the growth, active constituent accumulation in Glechoma longituba, and the soil microbial community in its root zone [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionClonal integration represents a key ecological advantage of clonal plants, enabling resource transfer among interconnected ramets. Earthworm activity significantly influences soil processes and plant growth.
