Plant invasions in China - challenges and chances. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Invasive species cause serious environmental and economic harm and threaten global biodiversity. We set out to investigate how quickly invasive plant species are currently spreading in China and how their resulting distribution patterns are linked to ...

Circadian Activity and Clock Genes in Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae: Implications for Field Applications and Circadian Clock Mechanisms of Parasitoid Wasps

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Despite the importance of circadian rhythms in insect behavior, our understanding of circadian activity and the molecular oscillatory mechanism in parasitoid wasp circadian clocks is limited.

The native stem holoparasitic Cuscuta japonica suppresses the invasive plant Ambrosia trifida and related mechanisms in different light conditions in northeast China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Increasing evidence from low-latitude ranges has demonstrated that native parasitic plants are promising biocontrol agents for some major invasive weeds. However, related mechanisms and the effect of environments on the control effect of the parasite are

Monitoring the Methyl Eugenol Response and Non-Responsiveness Mechanisms in Oriental Fruit Fly Bactrocera dorsalis in China

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Bactrocera dorsalis is a notorious polyphagous pest in China, and its management strategies largely depend on methyl eugenol (ME), which has been widely used as an attractant to monitor and eradicate B. dorsalis populations for seven decades.

Effects of gibberellins on important agronomic traits of horticultural plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Horticultural plants such as vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants are crucial to human life and socioeconomic development. Gibberellins (GAs), a class of diterpenoid compounds, control numerous developmental processes of plants.

Nitrogen acquisition strategy and its effects on invasiveness of a subtropical invasive plant

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionPreference and plasticity in nitrogen (N) form uptake are the main strategies with which plants absorb soil N. However, little effort has been made to explore effects of N form acquisition strategies, especially the plasticity, on ...

Nitrogen Deposition Amplifies the Legacy Effects of Plant Invasion

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The legacy effects of invasive plant species can hinder the recovery of native communities, especially under nitrogen deposition conditions, where invasive species show growth advantages and trigger secondary invasions in controlled areas.

Plant invasions in Ukraine

open access: yesEnvironmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2021
We present a comprehensive review of the plant invasions of 42 alien species and their impact on vegetation cover in Ukraine. Among these species, those currently posing the greatest threat to the environment have been identified. The structural features

Enhanced precipitation offsets climate warming inhibition on Solidago canadensis growth and sustains its high tolerance

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Invasions encompass sequential climate-mediated stages, and the establishment stage of invaders is crucial for their spread and damage. Growth and tolerance are two key components determining plant invasions, and addressing climate change effects on them
