Sentence examples for ramets is from inspiring English sources

Sadras and Denison (2009) argue that the metaphor of conflict between plant parts (cells, vegetative versus reproductive organs, modules, ramets) is an 'incomplete argument' because it neglects the increased fitness that can be gained when intra-plant competition is restricted.

Particularly within clumps of wild cherry occurrences, a genotype that consists of dozens of ramets is more likely to have some ramets escape herbivory than a genotype that consists of a single stem [ 16].

Ramets are distinguished by colour, with ramet 1 being red and ramet 2 being blue.

For each clone, two ramets were randomly selected giving a total of 24 trees for measurements.

Individual ramets were identified by spatial independence based on vertical stems arising from the same root crown.

Ramets were sampled from 60 different meadows, distributed geographically between the Mediterranean basin and the Atlantic Ocean, covering the entire plant distribution [11].

Canopy diameter and density of ramets was not affected by time since fire, but burned pastures had marginally lower densities than plots excluded from fire (P = 0.07).

The results show that plasticity of clonal growth forms, by which more spreading ramets are produced, is an effective strategy to avoid sedimentation stress under our experimental conditions.

We measured grazing intensity based on the amount of plant ramets being grazed in 75 plots positioned across a rangeland landscape in central Tibet.

Replicate ramets were grown in a split split plot design with two levels of dissolved nutrients and four different grazer species combinations (Tozeuma carolinense alone, Pagurus maclaughlinae alone, both species together, and no grazers present).

The ramets were maintained in the salt-free environment for another two weeks, whereupon more samples were collected.
