Fallopia japonica, a Natural Modulator, Can Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Cancer Cells. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2015 Resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is controlled by the decrease of intracellular drug accumulation, increase of detoxification, and diminished propensity of cancer cells to undergo apoptosis. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) membrane transporters with intracellular metabolic enzymes contribute to the complex and unresolved phenomenon of multidrug ...

Phenolic compounds from invasive Fallopia japonica inhibit nitrification
, 2022 <p>Riparian zones, important hotspots for nitrogen retention, are at risk of losing ecosystem functioning by species invasion and chemical contaminants. Invasive <em>Fallopia japonica</em> is suspected of using polyphenolic compounds as a &#8220;novel weapon&#8221; to decrease nitrification ...

Evaluation of the Main Macro-, Micro- and Trace Elements Found in Fallopia japonica Plants and Their Traceability in Its Honey: A Case Study from the Northwestern and Western Part of Romania [PDF]
PlantsFallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica or Polygonum cuspidatum) is considered an extremely invasive plant worldwide and a bioindicator of heavy metals. Yet, its potential as a crop for honeybees is still underevaluated.

New insights into the phylogenetic relationships of Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) and allied taxa in subtribe Reynoutriinae (Polygonaceae) [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2023 Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) is native to East Asia, but has been introduced to the West where it is a noxious invasive weed. Taxonomically, Japanese knotweed is placed within subtribe Reynoutriinae (Polygonaceae), which also contains the ...

Distribution and management of Fallopia japonica in riparian biotopes in Slovakia and Austria
Biosystems Diversity, 2022 Globally, invasive species represent a serious threat to biodiversity and to the ecosystem. As an undesirable part of riparian ecosystems, invasive plants form continuous growths on the banks of watercourses.

Invasion by Fallopia japonica alters soil food webs through secondary metabolites [PDF]
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018 Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity with varying degrees of impact. There is increasing evidence that allelopathy often plays an important role in explaining both invasion success and impact on native taxa (e.g. novel weapons hypothesis).

Stream ecosystems respond to riparian invasion by Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2007 There are growing concerns about the rapid spread of exotic plants into riparian zones, yet little information is currently available on their influence on stream ecosystems. This study assessed the impact of riparian invasion by Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), an aggressive invader, on leaf litter breakdown and its associated biota (aquatic ...
