Rapid phenotypic differentiation in the iconic Japanese knotweed s.l. invading novel habitats. [PDF]
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that underlie plant invasions is critical for management and conservation of biodiversity. At the same time, invasive species also provide a unique opportunity to study rapid adaptation to complex environmental conditions.

Japanese Knotweed Rhizome Bark Extract Inhibits Live SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro. [PDF]
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a viral infectious respiratory disease, is caused by highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is responsible for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since very few drugs are known to be effective against SARS-CoV-2, there is a general need for new therapeutics, including plant ...

Stream ecosystems respond to riparian invasion by Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) [PDF]
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.

The Japanese knotweed invasion viewed as a vast unintentional hybridisation experiment. [PDF]
Chromosome counts of plants grown from open-pollinated seed from Japanese knotweed around the world have revealed the presence of extensive hybridisation with both native and other introduced taxa. These hybrids fit into three categories: inter- and intraspecific hybrids involving the taxa of Fallopia section Reynoutria (giant knotweeds), hybrids ...

Elucidating the population dynamics of Japanese knotweed using integral projection models. [PDF]
Plant demographic studies coupled with population modeling are crucial components of invasive plant management because they inform managers when in a plant's life cycle it is most susceptible to control efforts. Providing land managers with appropriate data can be especially challenging when there is limited data on potentially important transitions ...

Sustainable Control of Japanese Knotweed [PDF]
Control and management of invasive plants frequently differs from agricultural weed control as plant establishment and development progresses in less intensively managed systems. This is particularly the case for rhizome-forming invasive plants, such as Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica var.

Legibility of prints on paper made from Japanese knotweed [PDF]
The spread of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) is a leading reason for worldwide environmental change due to their effects on biodiversity and humans. Some valued goods from IAPS have been produced, e.g. paper that consists of cellulose fibres from Japanese knotweed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish the usability of this paper grade

The ecohydrology of a Japanese knotweed invasion
<p>Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed) is an herbaceous, clonal invasive plant that can create a monodominant stand that outcompetes native species, particularly throughout riparian zones. To better understand how this species is so successful at invading, and why particular locations in riparian settings are more at risk, we investigated a ...

Potential phytotoxic and shading effects of invasive Fallopia (Polygonaceae) taxa on the germination of dominant native species [PDF]
Two species of the genus Fallopia (F. sachalinensis, F. japonica, Polygonaceae) native to Asia, and their hybrid (F. ×bohemica), belong to the most noxious plant invaders in Europe.
