Transgenerational plasticity in clonal plants

Evolutionary Ecology, 2010
Transgenerational plasticity has recently been recognized as a mechanism allowing phenotypic adjustments to local conditions to be passed onto sexually produced offspring. Although thus far it has been studied mainly in non-clonal plants, the present paper proposes that transgenerational plasticity is also applicable to asexually generated progeny, and

The loss of sex in clonal plants

Evolutionary Ecology, 2001
Most plants combine sexual and clonal reproduction, and the balance between the two may vary widely between and within species. There are many anecdotal reports of plants that appear to have abandoned sex for clonal reproduction, yet few studies have quantified the degree of sexual variation in clonal plants and fewer still have determined the ...

MODELING INVESTMENTS IN SEEDS, CLONAL OFFSPRING, AND TRANSLOCATION IN A CLONAL PLANT

Ecology, 1999
Clonal plants that can switch facultatively between sexual and asexual re- production may respond plastically to the environment. We constructed a dynamic state variable model to examine how the measure of fitness, ramet and genet mortality, and the assimilation rates of a parent and its clonal offspring influence behavioral investments in ramet growth,

Clonal integration increases tolerance of a phalanx clonal plant to defoliation

Science of The Total Environment, 2017
Defoliation by herbivores commonly imposes negative effects on plants, and physiological integration (resource sharing) can enhance the ability of guerilla clonal plants to tolerate stresses. Here we examined whether physiological integration can increase the ability of phalanx clonal plants to withstand defoliation.

Clonal analysis in plants

1993
Abstract Little is known about the nature of cell-cell interactions in plants as many of the most useful methods for studying this problem are difficult, if not impossible, to employ in plants. One of the most significant technical problems is the tendency of plant cells and tissues to dedifferentiate in new environments. As a result,

Habitat Selection in a Clonal Plant

Science, 1985
Rhizomatous growth may permit the nonrandom placement of ramets into different environments, but whether clonal plants are able to use this means to exercise adaptive habitat choice is not known. Western ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya) plants are shown to preferentially colonize nonsaline soil over saline soil patches, and clones with the strongest ...
