Livestock as a potential biological control agent for an invasive wetland plant [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Invasive species threaten biodiversity and incur costs exceeding billions of US$. Eradication efforts, however, are nearly always unsuccessful. Throughout much of North America, land managers have used expensive, and ultimately ineffective, techniques to

Meristem tip culture in Phragmites australis and genetic fidelity study using SRAP markers

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2022
The improved sugarcane varieties grown in and around the world are majorly evolved through interspecific hybridization of Saccharum species. Only few promising hybrids have been developed from allied genera such as Erianthus and Sclerostachya.

Positive effects of nonnative invasive Phragmites australis on larval bullfrogs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Nonnative Phragmites australis (common reed) is one of the most intensively researched and managed invasive plant species in the United States, yet as with many invasive species, our ability to predict, control or understand the consequences ...
