The Seagrass Methylome Is Associated With Variation in Photosynthetic Performance Among Clonal Shoots [PDF]
Evolutionary theory predicts that clonal organisms are more susceptible to extinction than sexually reproducing organisms, due to low genetic variation and slow rates of evolution.

CLONAL VARIATION AND COVARIATION IN APHID RESISTANCE TO PARASITOIDS AND A PATHOGEN [PDF]
The potential rate of evolution of resistance to natural enemies depends on the genetic variation present in the population and any trade-offs between resistance and other components of fitness. We measured clonal variation and covariation in pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) for resistance to two parasitoid species (Aphidius ervi and A.

Rosa persica is the only species in the genus Rosa that features single leaf and a distinctive flower spot. These features make it of significant scientific and ornamental value. As a typical clonal plant, R.

Genotypic richness predicts phenotypic variation in an endangered clonal plant [PDF]
Declines in genetic diversity within a species can affect the stability and functioning of populations. The conservation of genetic diversity is thus a priority, especially for threatened or endangered species.

Clonal Variation in Pectinatella [PDF]
THE freshwater Bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica produces, as is well known, lenticular statoblasts or winter buds that carry at the margin hooks whose number varies from 11 to 26. The statoblasts develop in the funiculus of the zooids. The zooids arise by budding from embryonic tissue which is laid down even in the statoblast-embryo of the preceding ...

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

Inducible defense is adaptive when prey organisms cope with fluctuations of predation risk, and there exists ample variations of inducible defense both within a species and between species even in a single habitat. Daphnia, a freshwater zooplankton genus,

Seed orchards with high hereditary qualities and the improvement studies used are of great importance. This study was carried out on individuals in a Boyabat grafted black pine seed orchard, Sinop. The morphological and micromorphological measurements of

Clonal propagation is frequently used in commercial plant breeding and biotechnology programs because it minimizes genetic variation, yet it is not uncommon to observe clonal plants with stable phenotypic changes, a phenomenon known as somaclonal ...
