Vegetative reproduction facilitates early expansion of Phyla canescens in a semi-arid floodplain

Vegetative reproduction facilitates early expansion of Phyla canescens in a semi-arid floodplain

Several sources of evidence (eld, genetic and morphological data) suggest that sexual reproduction is more important in Australian populations than in the native range. Despite this, some populations are almost entirely clonal. In this study it is shown that vegetative recruitment is an important me...

Zusammenfassung:Several sources of evidence (eld, genetic and morphological data) suggest that sexual reproduction is more important in Australian populations than in the native range. Despite this, some populations are almost entirely clonal. In this study it is shown that vegetative recruitment is an important mechanism for establishment and local expansion in an early invaded site. F
