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.

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, 2020 Blueberry is well recognized as a rich source of health promoting phytochemicals such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. Multiple studies in blueberry and other crops indicated that flavonoids and phenolic acids function as bioactive compounds in the ...

Comparative ecology of clonal plants [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996 Somatic embryogenesis is a phylogenetically ancient trait that allows sessile plants to grow in a modular fashion and to respond plastically to different environm ental cues. It facilitates damage repair and permits clonal growth, the capacity to produce potentially independent but genetically identical offspring. Clonal growth is observed to originate

Effects of a spatially heterogeneous nutrient distribution on the growth of clonal wetland plants
BMC Ecology, 2020 Background Clonal plants are important in maintaining wetland ecosystems. The main growth types of clonal plants are the guerrilla and phalanx types. However, little is known about the effects of these different clonal growth types on plant plasticity in

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parental environmental effects can be a rapid and effective means for clonal plants in response to temporally or spatially varying environments. However, few studies have quantitatively measured the ecological significance of parental effects in aquatic ...

Clonal growth and plant species abundance [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2014 Both regional and local plant abundances are driven by species' dispersal capacities and their abilities to exploit new habitats and persist there. These processes are affected by clonal growth, which is difficult to evaluate and compare across large numbers of species.

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

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Connected ramets of aquatic clonal plants are susceptible to fragmentation by disturbance. Such clonal fragmentation may interact with nutrient availability and individual density to affect growth and morphology of aquatic clonal plants.

Biology, 2022 Ranunculus illyricus, a component of xerothermic grasslands, is a declining species and deserves active conservation treatments in many countries preceded by studies on the biology of its reproduction. So far, our knowledge of R.
