DISTINCTION. “Because clonal growth does not involve sexual reproduction, botanists make a clear distinction between predominant self-fertilization and clonal reproduction, a separation that is not as evident in the literature involving some other groups: e.g., fungi and parasitic protozoa. Both forms of uniparental reproduction limit recombination and can result in similar signatures of population genetic structure.”
