Reproductive Biology of Dry Grassland Specialist Ranunculus illyricus L. and Its Implications for Conservation

open access: yesBiology, 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.

Belowground mechanism reveals climate change impacts on invasive clonal plant establishment

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Climate change and disturbance can alter invasion success of clonal plants by differentially affecting the clonal traits influencing their establishment as young plants.

Population dynamics of a long-lived alpine plant with sexual and clonal reproduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This thesis focuses on the demography, reproduction, and pre-dispersal seed predation of the alpine clonal plant Geum reptans. In chapter 2, I studied the population dynamics of G.

Warming in combination with increased precipitation mediate the sexual and clonal reproduction in the desert steppe dominant species Stipa breviflora

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Clonal plants can successfully adapt to various ecosystems. A trade-off between sexual and clonal reproduction is generally assumed in clonal plants, which may be influenced both by the characteristics of the plant itself and environmental ...

Water Content of Plant Tissues: So Simple That Almost Forgotten?

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The aim of the present review was to reconsider basic information about various functional aspects related to plant water content and provide evidence that the usefulness of measuring absolute water content in plant sciences is undervalued.

Genetic variation and population structure of clonal Zingiber zerumbet at a fine geographic scale: a comparison with two closely related selfing and outcrossing Zingiber species

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background There has always been controversy over whether clonal plants have lower genetic diversity than plants that reproduce sexually. These conflicts could be attributed to the fact that few studies have taken into account the mating system of ...

Nitrogen addition frequency and propagule pressure influence Solidago canadensis invasion into native plant community

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability, 2022
Introduction Propagule pressure (i.e., the number of propagules) has long been recognized to play an essential role in plant invasion. But it is not clear whether propagule pressure influences the invasion of exotic plants into native plant communities ...

Ecological risk assessment of genetically modified strawberries : the hybridization potential between cultivated and wild strawberries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Natural hybridization is a widespread phenomenon in many plant and animal species complexes and has been acknowledged as an important evolutionary process that can lead to new evolutionary lineages.

Distribution of Clonal and Non-Clonal Wetland Plants at Clydebank Morass, Gippsland Lakes, in Relation to Elevation and Salinity Gradients

open access: yes, 2008
A review of the published literature suggested that plants with a clonal growth habit dominated the vegetation of wetlands in many parts of the world. To test whether this pattern held in Australia, the distribution of plants with clonal and non-clonal

Ecological consequences of plant clonality [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2014
Clonal plants are those that reproduce asexually by means of vegetative offspring that remain attached to the parent, at least until they establish. Clonal plant species are widespread, dominate a variety of habitats and probably play key roles in the maintenance of biodiversity, ecosystem function and biological invasion. For example, many of the most
