A Mathematical Model for Biocontrol of the Invasive Weed Fallopia japonica. [PDF]
Bull Math Biol, 2016 We propose a mathematical model for biocontrol of the invasive weed Fallopia japonica using one of its co-evolved natural enemies, the Japanese sap-sucking psyllid Aphalara itadori. This insect sucks the sap from the stems of the plant thereby weakening it. Its diet is highly specific to F. japonica.

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 ...

Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica): an analysis of capacity to cause structural damage (compared to other plants) and typical rhizome extension [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed) is a well-known invasive alien species in the UK and elsewhere in Europe and North America. The plant is known to have a negative impact on local biodiversity, flood risk and ecosystem services; but in the UK it is ...

The Prediction of Distribution of the Invasive Fallopia Taxa in Slovakia [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Invasive species are now considered the second biggest threat for biodiversity and have adverse environmental, economic and social impacts. Understanding its spatial distribution and dynamics is crucial for the development of tools for large-scale ...

Allelopathy of Knotweeds as Invasive Plants
Plants, 2021 Perennial herbaceous Fallopia is native to East Asia, and was introduced to Europe and North America in the 19th century as an ornamental plant. Fallopia has been spreading quickly and has naturalized in many countries.

DPSIR Framework – A Decision – Making Tool for Municipalities
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2016 Many municipalities in Central Europe deal with the problem of invasive species in their natural ecosystems. Invasive vegetation eradicates native species and causes dense stands that damage the natural environment. This work shows how important it is to

A Trojan horse inside the gates: Alien-native mating interactions in mixed populations of Solidago taxa. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)DAPI flow cytometry identified post‐invasion processes—hybridisation, introgression, and polyploidization—in mixed populations of Solidago canadensis, S. virgaurea and S. ×niederederi. Abstract The establishment and possible impacts of alien–native hybrids depend on their formation frequency and ability to spread using generative and vegetative ...

Identification of alien Fallopia taxa using molecular methods
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2017 The non-native species of knotweeds (Fallopia sect. Reynoutria) are morphologically very similar and it is often difficult to distinguish between the hybrid F. ×bohemica and parental taxa, F. japonica and F. sachalinensis.
