Fitness and evolution in clonal plants: the impact of clonal growth
Evolutionary Ecology, 2001Seeds have often been emphasized in estimates of plant fitness because they are the units that carry genes to the next generation, disperse, and found new populations. We contend that clonal growth also needs to be considered when estimating fitness in clonal plants, regardless of whether fitness is measured from a genet or ramet perspective.

Are stoneworts (Characeae) clonal plants?
Aquatic Botany, 2012Two questions have been posed: whether the concept of clonality may be applied to charophytes (Characeae) and whether species of the genus Chara differ in the features connected with clonal life strategy. The following criteria of clonality were established: 1/an iterative growth form characterised by a horizontal (above- or underground) axis and ...

In clonal organisms the distribution of a genet is potentially unlimited in space and time. Fitness, defined as the rate of change in number of units carrying a certain allele or allele complex, can be calculated using life cycle graph analysis. The units used should be self-replicating, limited in space and time, and not unnecessarily small.

Plant clonality: Biology and diversity
Folia Geobotanica et Phytotaxonomica, 1994The current approaches to the study of clonal plants are reviewed. Most studies concentrate at the level of the ramet and clonal fragment exploring the “microscopic” view of clonal plants, dealing with the translocation of resources, clonal integration, plasticity of growth etc.

Ring formation in clonal plants
Community Ecology, 2014Ring shaped patches of clonal plants fascinated plant ecologists since long time. In this work we review the reports on the occurrence of ring pattern in different environmental conditions, the growth forms of ring-forming plants, the mechanisms underlying ring formation, and the consequences for species diversity at community scale. Rings formed by 83

The evolutionary ecology of clonally propagated domesticated plants
New Phytologist, 2010Summary While seed‐propagated crops have contributed many evolutionary insights, evolutionary biologists have often neglected clonally propagated crops. We argue that widespread notions about their evolution under domestication are oversimplified, and that they offer rich material for evolutionary studies.

Clonal analysis in plant development
1998Clonal analysis is of value in understanding the cellular dinamics of morphogenetic processes. In their review, Dawe and Freeling (1991) have grouped the methods useful in plants to this type of analysis, under the headings chimeras, spontaneous sectors, sectors induced at specific stages of development and sector boundary analysis.

Determining the age of clonal plants: challenges and prospects
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionDetermining the age of genetic individuals in clonal plants is fundamental for understanding their persistence strategies, but is inherently challenging due to the gradual loss of older parts as the clone expands. The first step in age estimation is to assign physically independent individuals (ramets) to genetic individuals (genets) by molecular ...
