摘要： Many invasive plants can reproduce through both seeds and clonal growth. In habitats, interacting seedlings may originate from the same mother, and interacting ramets originating from the same plant may not be adjacent to each other in the stolon, particularly for vines that can show curved growth. However, in a homogeneous environment, how kinship and integration between adjacent/non-adjacent ramets affect plant growth and feedback with soil biota has been less studied. We address these questions using an invasive stoloniferous vine Mikania micrantha. We found that sibling groups and stranger groups did not differ in biomass production, root allocation and feedback with soil biota, indicating that kin recognition is unlikely in M. micrantha. For two-ramet stolon fragments in which interacting ramets were adjacent to each other, older ramets allocated more biomass to roots than younger ramets when integrated, particularly in comparison with disconnected ramets from different genotypes, indicating that a division of labor was induced. For four-ramet stolon fragments in which there were two unrooted ramets between the two rooted, interacting ramets, integration increased biomass allocation to roots, possibly because only two of the four ramets could absorb belowground resources and a lower shoot allocation decreased aboveground light competition. When inoculated with soil biota conditioned by the four-ramet integrated fragments, plants of M. micrantha also increased biomass allocation to roots. These results indicate that the distance between interacting ramets in the stolon may affect the integration effect and feedback with soil biota in clonal plants.
