AoB PLANTS🌿 New article in @AoBP shows how clonal plants cope with herbivory stress through stolon connection, enhancing resistance and altering leaf microstructure. Read more about the findings on the impact of simulated herbivory on Bouteloua dactyloides ramets 👇
Clonal integration systemically regulates leaf microstructure of Bouteloua dactyloides interconnected ramets to better adapt to different levels of simulated insect herbivory
Plants are well known to enhance leaf microstructure to respond to insect herbivory. Herbivory signalling molecules can be transferred through vascular systems
