Abstract
Sand burial significantly enhanced shoot growth and leaf growth in shoots that were connected to ramets and shoots that were not connected to ramets. When shoots were not buried, connected shoots in a ramet exhibited decreased stem growth. These results suggest that physiological responses are distributed among ramets in Ipomoea pes-caprae.Suggested Citation
