A clonal colony or genet is a group of genetically identical individuals, such as plants, fungi, or bacteria, that have grown in a given location, all originating vegetatively, not sexually, from a single ancestor. In plants, an individual in such a population is referred to as a ramet.
Modular organisms are those in which a genet (or genetic individual formed from a sexually-produced zygote) asexually reproduces to form genetically identical clones called ramets. [8] A clonal colony is when the ramets of a genet live in close proximity or are physically connected. Ramets may have all of the functions needed to survive on ...
The proper botanical term for plants that reproduce through roots, stolons and tubers thus producing colonies of clonal, connected entities is refered to as a Genet. A ramet is an individual plant within the genet. Here are a few public articles which illustrate its usage in the botany/ecology community:
A genet (pronounced / ˈ dʒ ɛ n ɪ t / or / dʒ ə ˈ n ɛ t /) is a member of the genus Genetta, which consists of 17 species of small African carnivorans. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The common genet is the only genet present in Europe and occurs in the Iberian Peninsula , Italy and France .
The asexual, all-female whiptail species Aspidoscelis neomexicanus (center), which reproduces via parthenogenesis, is shown flanked by two sexual species having males, A. inornatus (left) and A. tigris (right), which naturally hybridized to form A. neomexicanus.
It has been said that the name derives from Edmond-Charles Genet, a Frenchman who gave cuttings to Jefferson, who then passed them on to Virginia nurseryman Caleb Ralls, but this claim, cited here from 1905, was not made until about 100 years after the apple became known and may not be accurate.
