Abstract excerpt
Parental environmental effects play a crucial role in clonal plants, potentially enabling clonal offspring to pre-adapt to environmental changes. However, few studies have examined whether such parental effects differ between genotypes and whether they enhance both growth and defence. We conducted a two-generation herbivory experiment using six genotypes of the invasive clonal plant Hydrocotyle verticillata and...
