Abstract Background and Aims Roots and rhizomes are crucial for the adaptation of clonal
plants to soil water gradients. Oryza longistaminata, a rhizomatous wild rice, is of particular …

Physiological integration is a means of adapting to the natural selection of moso bamboo.
Connected ramets can translocate and share nitrogen (N). This phenomenon may affect the …

Nutrients are often released heterogeneously over time (eg, in pulses) in natural habitats.
Different genotypes of the same plant species may vary in their responses to temporal …

Introduction Moso bamboo is one of the important clonal plants with complex underground
rhizome-root system. Ramets connected by rhizome can translocate and share nitrogen (N) …

Clonal integration of defense or stress signal induced systemic resistance in leaf of
interconnected ramets. However, similar effects of stress signal in root are poorly understood …

As a typical clonal plant, dwarf bamboo has potential applications in the remediation of Pb
(lead)-contaminated soils; however, the environmental risk-spreading strategies of dwarf …

Land-use change and tourism development have seriously threatened the ecosystems of
coastal protection forests and beaches. Light and nutrients are spatially heterogeneously …

Rhizosphere microorganisms can greatly affect plant growth, especially the plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which can improve plant root development and growth …

Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific
competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in …

We used a spatially explicit dynamic model for studying the relationship between stochastic
ramet and genet mortality in clonal plants. Since genets consist of ramets, a naive …
