Herbivore-simulated induction of defenses in clonal networks of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides).

Abstract excerpt

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) as a clonal tree species possesses a complex root system through which trees of the same or different clones are connected. Root connections have been studied with respect to resource sharing, but the nature, quantities or extent of what is shared between trees is relatively unknown. In this study, we posed the hypothesis that systemic defense induction signals could...
