"They don't flower as much, don't seed as much, so these signs of reproductive activity were a little bit unremarkable."But when they took samples from 10 meadows throughout the Shark Bay area, they never expected nine of them to return a genetic match.Instead, they were planning to use their research to inform which plants to use for restoration of the meadows, to help with their resilience against threats like bleaching...[...] Being a clone probably helps to explain why this single plant has been so successful.[...] Polyploidy in this case has occurred because at some stage, a Posidonia plant has hybridised with another related species.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
