Abstract:
Based on the measurement of all individuals of population at different successional stage, the investigation on edge dispersal effect and the following excavation of clones, the dynamics of age structure and genetic consequences of Hippophea rhamnoides L. subsp sinensis clone population in Mu Su sandland were examined. The results showed that the age structure of the clone population was characterized by a transformation from an increasing type in the early period starting from the initial colonization through a stable type to a declining type. The clone population could maintain or recover its stability by edge dispersal and gap regeneration with clonal growth. As the population self-thinned, the composition of clone population changed from more clones with less ramets to less clones with more ramets and the genetic diversity of clone population decreased.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
