Submergence scenarios I – Rumex reaches up


Figure 1
While walking in the north-west Highlands of Scotland in late May, I came across several small, shallow, clear-water pools. The range of terrestrial plants growing in these pools indicated that they were temporary, probably resulting from snow melt. Interestingly, while the grasses appeared similar to specimens growing on drier ground, some of the submerged dicots had elongated petioles, bringing the leaf-blades to the water surface. It is this phenomenon that has been investigated by Chen et al. (Nijmegen and Utrecht, pp. 1057–1067). They were particularly interested to know the extent of genetic variation within populations of Rumex palustris. Eight genotypes were selected from each of 12 populations; the populations were from either river flood plains subject to periodic and often deep . . . [Full Text of this Article]
