Populations in clonal plants [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Clonal integration enhances the performance of a clonal plant species under soil alkalinity stress.
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.

Root hemiparasites suppress invasive alien clonal plants: evidence from a cultivation experiment [PDF]
NeoBiotaAlien invasive plants threaten biodiversity by rapid spread and competitive exclusion of native plant species. Especially, tall clonal invasives can rapidly attain strong dominance in vegetation. Root-hemiparasitic plants are known to suppress the growth

Reconstruction of pedigrees in clonal plant populations [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2010 We present a Bayesian method for the reconstruction of pedigrees in clonal populations using co-dominant genomic markers such as microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The accuracy of the algorithm is demonstrated for simulated data.

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.

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.

Epigenetic Memory as a Basis for Intelligent Behavior in Clonal Plants. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2016 Environmentally induced epigenetic change enables plants to remember past environmental interactions. If this memory capability is exploited to prepare plants for future challenges, it can provide a basis for highly sophisticated behaviour, considered ...

Comparative Analysis of Diversification Rates in Clonal and Non-Clonal Flowering Plants. [PDF]
Ecol LettABSTRACT Clonality, the process of vegetative reproduction through belowground organs (rhizomes, stolons), occurs in about half of all plant species. It influences key ecological and evolutionary phenomena, including effective population size, meiosis frequency and genet longevity, which may affect diversification rates.
