Does physiological integration among intraclonal ramets of Iris pumila enhance stress tolerance in heterogeneous environments?
We tested the hypothesis that sharing essential resources through interconnected ramets increases stress tolerance of a clonal plant in patchy environments. A number of circle-shaped clones of Iris pumila naturally growing in a sunexposed habitat were selected and cut into two equal halves...
