  • Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction©
    Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction 269 Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction© Robert L. Geneve University of Kentucky, Department of Horticulture, Lexington, Kentucky 40546 U.S.A. Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Pick up any biology textbook and there will be a description of the typical sexual life cycle for plants. In higher plants, the life cycle starts with seed germination followed by vegetative growth leading to flower and gamete formation with the ultimate goal of creating genetically diverse offspring through seed production. The fern life cycle is more primitive but follows a similar progression from spore germi- nation to the gametophytic generation leading to sexual union of gametes resulting in the leafy sporophyte, which in turn creates the spores. Interestingly, plants have evolved unique alternative life cycles that bypass typi- cal seed production in favor of clonal reproduction systems. This may seem counter- intuitive because sexual reproduction should lead to greater genetic diversity in offspring compared to clonal plants. These sexual offspring should have a higher potential to adapt to new or changing environments, i.e., be more successful. How- ever, investing in clonal reproduction seems to increase the likelihood that a species can colonize specific environmental niches. It has been observed that many of the perennial species in a given ecosystem tend to combine both sexual and clonal forms of reproduction (Ellstrand and Roose, 1987). Additionally, unique clonal propaga- tion systems tend to be more prevalent in plants adapted to extreme environments like arctic, xerophytic, and Mediterranean climates. Mini-Review Objectives. The objective of this mini-review is to describe some of the ways plants have evolved clonal reproduction strategies that allow unique plants to colonize extreme environments.

  • Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily: an Endangered Minnesota Wildflower.” Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, St
    Note: This digital document was adapted from Sather, N. 1990. “Minnesota dwarf trout lily: an endangered Minnesota wildflower.” Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, St. Paul. 9 pages. MINNESOTA DWARF TROUT LILY AN ENDANGERED MINNESOTA WILDFLOWER Photo by Welby Smith What is the Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily? The Minnesota dwarf trout lily (Erythronium propullans) is a federally endangered forest wildflower found in Rice, Goodhue, and Steele Counties, Minnesota. Because it is known only from this small area the dwarf trout lily is considered a Minnesota “endemic” – i.e. a species that grows in Minnesota and nowhere else on earth. Populations range from one to over 100 colonies, with an average of around 30 colonies per population. Actual colony size ranges from a few plants to several hundred. The number of visible colonies and the number of plants visible within colonies is highly variable from year to year and does not appear to be easily associated with such factors as weather or snow depth. What does the Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily look like? The Minnesota dwarf trout lily is distinguished from other trout lilies by its underground vegetative runner, from which the species takes its name “propullans” or “sprouting forth.” The blooming plant is readily identified by the very small size of its flowers. Flowers of the dwarf trout lily are about the size of a dime or less, pale pink, with a variable number of perianth parts (“petals”). Most members of the lily family have 6 “petals”, but dwarf trout lilies may have four, five or six. There are three species of trout lily in Minnesota: the Minnesota dwarf trout lily (Erythronium propullans), the white trout lily (Erythronium albidum), and the yellow trout lily (Erythronium americanum).

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.

The dwarf trout lily occurs on fewer than 600 acres of woodland habitat, rich slopes domiyated by maple and basswood and adjoining floodplains dominated by elm and cottonwood. Like spring beauties and dutchman' s breeches. trout lilies are "spring ephemerals," adapted to flower and grow before the deciduous trees develop their leaves. When summer shade darkens the forest floor these plants have already bloomed, generated their food reserves for the coming year and lost their leaves.
