Genetic diversity and clonal vs. sexual reproduction in Fallopia spp. (Polygonaceae).
Although fundamental to the study of invasion mechanisms, the relationship between mode of reproduction and plant invasion is not well understood. Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed), a highly aggressive invasive plant in both Europe and North America, serves as a model species for examining this relationship. In Britain, F. japonica var. japonica is a single female clone reproducing solely t...
متن کاملHybridization and sexual reproduction in the invasive alien Fallopia (Polygonaceae) complex in Belgium.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The knotweed complex, Fallopia spp. (Polygonaceae), belongs to the most troublesome invasive species in Europe and North America. Vegetative regeneration is widely recognized as the main mode of reproduction in the adventive regions. However, the contribution of sexual reproduction to the success of these invasive species has only been detailed for the British Isles. An exam...
متن کاملphylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
High variation in clonal vs. sexual reproduction in populations of the wild strawberry, Fragaria virginiana (Rosaceae).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Many plants reproduce both clonally and sexually, and the balance between the two modes of reproduction will vary among populations. Clonal reproduction was characterized in three populations of the wild strawberry, Fragaria virginiana, to determine the extent that reproductive mode varied locally between sites. The study sites were fragmented woodlands in Cook County, Illin...
متن کاملGeneration of clonal diversity by sexual reproduction in the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum.
In the United States, the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), reproduces primarily by apomictic parthenogenesis. Although a periodic sexual cycle exists, the extent to which it occurs naturally and its influence on the genetic variability of greenbug populations is unclear. Length variation in the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the rRNA cistron in the greenbug indicates that populations are ma...
