“…It is adaptable to various climatic conditions and can survive both on dry land as well as in places accumulated with water bodies. In many regions of the world, the plant is considered as an invasive weed, which grows in lawns, boggy areas and on the banks of small rivers and rivulets (Wang et al, 2016).…”

Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. (Araliaceae) is a short and edible medicinal herb, which is used in the traditional system of medicines. The review aims to report the current information of H. sibthorpioides on the basis of its botanical and taxonomical description, traditional use, active phytoconstituents, pharmacological use and toxicity. The information on H. sibthorpioides with respect to its journey from traditional uses to scientific validation was gathered based on the online survey. The results from the review signify that the plant is used by the different tribes of the world for the treatment of patients suffering from fever, edema, dysentery, rheumatalgia, whooping cough, jaundice, throat pain, psoriasis, herpes zoster infection, hepatitis‐B infection, soothing pain, dysmenorrhoea and carbunculosis. It is also used as a brain tonic, detoxifying agent and hepatoprotective agent. Scientific investigation reported that the plant has a significant pharmacological activity, viz. cognitive agent, anti‐cancer, antiviral, antibacterial, anti‐fungal and hepatoprotective. Moreover, based on the phytochemical aspects, a total of 50 phytoconstituents was identified and isolated from the plant. In conclusion, the outcome of this review will be useful for (a) developing a comprehensive plant profile; (b) assist investigators for exploring further research; and (c) to fulfil the gaps lacking in terms of clinical studies.

“…Clonal integration helped clonal plants exploit ubiquitous heterogeneous resources, improve the growth performance of the whole genet and occupy new habitats [15][16][17]. Extensive studies have been reported on the role of clonal integration in coping with heterogeneous resources, such as water, nutrients, light, space and others for clonal plants [17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Most studies used pairs of mother ramet and daughter ramets subjected to homogeneous and heterogeneous water and nutrient treatments as materials. The translocation and sharing patterns of water and nutrients, as well as the photochemical activities and growth performances of mother and daughter ramets, were well documented [17,20,21,27,28]. However, only a few studies were conducted on plot and patch levels to investigate the growth, phenotypic responses and recovery mechanisms of clonal plants to scale-dependent nutrient heterogeneity [22,29,30].…”

Growth and Morphological Responses of Kentucky Bluegrass to Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Soil Water Availabilities

Understanding the effect of water heterogeneity on the growth and water integration of clonal plants is important for scientific water management. In controlled field plots, we conducted a study by creating three different soil water treatments comprising four patches with different soil water supplies using Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) as the materials. The objective was to explore the differences in the growth indices and morphological attributes, and the possible water integration in ‘Arcadia’ Kentucky bluegrass in plots and patches with different soil water availabilities. Soil water deficit resulted in the declined biomass, root/shoot ratio and leaf relative water content of the whole genet, decreased leaf length and height of mother ramet, reduced leaf width and height of daughter ramets, and significant changes in the structures of vascular bundles in rhizomes and leaves. However, the leaf length, leaf width, height and leaf relative water content of daughter ramets in heterogeneous water-poor patches were recovered to the levels in water-rich patches. In addition, the diameter of the vessel in the xylem and percentage of the xylem area in leaf vascular bundles of daughter ramets in the heterogeneous water-poor patch were insignificantly different from those in water-rich patches. These results demonstrated that water integration among interconnected ramets promoted the growth status of daughter ramets in heterogeneous water-poor patches. However, the water translocation in interconnected ramets subjecting to heterogeneous water supplies was not investigated using stable isotope labelling in this study. Thus, the directions and patterns of water translocation among ramets necessitate further research.

“…In nature, environmental conditions are usually spatially heterogeneous (Glover et al ; Wang et al ). One potential benefit of clonality is that ramets, connected by belowground rhizomes or aboveground stolons, can share resources and signals, thereby increasing the growth and competition of clonal plants in numerous environments with heterogeneous distribution of light, water, nutrients and competitors (Stuefer et al ; Yu et al ; Song et al ; You et al ; Roiloa et al ; Wang et al ). One type of heterogeneous environment is that some patches favourable for plant growth are interspersed with others that are not favourable for plant growth.…”

Nutrient addition does not increase the benefits of clonal integration in an invasive plant spreading from open patches into plant communities

One benefit of clonal integration is that resource translocation between connected ramets enhances the growth of the ramets grown under stressful conditions, but whether such resource translocation reduces the performance of the ramets grown under favourable conditions has not produced consistent results. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that resource translocation to recipient ramets may reduce the performance of donor ramets when resources are limiting but not when resources are abundant.• We grew Mikania micrantha stolon fragments (each consisting of two ramets, either connected or not connected) under spatially heterogeneous competition conditions such that the developmentally younger, distal ramets were grown in competition with a plant community and the developmentally older, proximal ramets were grown without competition. For half of the stolon fragments, slow-release fertiliser pellets were applied to both the distal and proximal ramets.• Under both the low and increased soil nutrient conditions, the biomass, leaf number and stolon length of the distal ramets were higher, and those of the proximal ramets were lower when the stolon internode was intact than when it was severed. For the whole clone, the biomass, leaf number and stolon length did not differ between the two connection treatments. Connection did not change the biomass of the plant communities competing with distal ramets of M. micrantha.• Although clonal integration may promote the invasion of M. micrantha into plant communities, resource translocation to recipient ramets of M. micrantha will induce a cost to the donor ramets, even when resources are relatively abundant.
