Clonal Plants as Meta-Holobionts [PDF]
mSystems, 2019 The holobiont concept defines a given organism and its associated symbionts as a potential level of selection over evolutionary time. In clonal plants, recent experiments demonstrated vertical transmission of part of the microbiota from one ramet (i.e ...

Invasive clonal plants possess greater capacity for division of labor than natives in high patch contrast environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Invasion success of clonal plants is closely related to their unique clonal life history, and clonal division of labor is a crucial clonal trait. However, so far, it is unclear whether invasive alien clonal species generally possess a greater capacity ...

Agricultural and Food Science, 1986 Population phenomena in higher plants are reviewed critically, particularly in relation to clonality. An array of concepts used in the field are discussed. In contrast to animals, higher plants are modular in structure.

Ecological Consequences of Clonal Integration in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Clonal plants are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and dominate in diverse habitats. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of environment is pervasive at multiple scales, even at scales relevant to individual plants. Clonal integration refers to resource translocation and information communication among the ramets of clonal plants.

Phylogenetic meta-analysis of the functional traits of clonal plants foraging in changing environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Foraging behavior, one of the adaptive strategies of clonal plants, has stimulated a tremendous amount of research. However, it is a matter of debate whether there is any general pattern in the foraging traits (functional traits related to foraging ...

Invasive alien clonal plants are competitively superior over co-occurring native clonal plants [PDF]
Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019 Abstract Alien plant invasions are a major component of global change, and can severely threaten local floras and global biodiversity. A striking pattern of invasive floras is that many of the world’s worst invasive plants are clonal species. However, it is still unclear whether invasive clonal plant species are in general competitively superior over

Next-gen plant clonal ecology [PDF]
Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2021 Abstract Plants with clonal growth can produce multiple potentially independent units, termed ramets. Clonal growth can have important ecological and evolutionary consequences, such as by increasing probability of reproduction, space monopolization, and regeneration after injury; and by permitting physiological integration of connected ramets ...

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 versus non-clonal milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) respond differently to stem damage, affecting oviposition by monarch butterflies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Oviposition decisions are critical to the fitness of herbivorous insects and are often impacted by the availability and condition of host plants.

An invasive clonal plant benefits from clonal integration more than a co-occurring native plant in nutrient-patchy and competitive environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, however, little is known about the different roles of clonal integration effects between invasive and native plants.
