Evidence for allelopathy by tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle contains one or more phytotoxic compounds in roots and leaves. Activity is higher in roots, where it occurs primarily in the bark. Powdered root bark and leaflets strongly inhibited growth of garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) when mixed with soil in Petri dishes (ID50 values=0.03 g root bark, 0.6 g leaflet/dish ...

Microsatellites for tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
Molecular Ecology Notes, 2005AbstractNine (CT)n microsatellites were developed for tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima, from invasive populations on the Mediterranean islands. These loci had seven to 12 alleles in 96 trees from five islands. Two loci had significant deficits of heterozygotes within islands while the other loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and four pairs of ...

Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle (Tree of Heaven)
1996The genus Ailanthus (family Simaroubaceae) comprises 15 species growing in east and south Asia and in north and east Australia. Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle (syn. A. glandulosa Desf.) is a large deciduous tree (Fig. 1) which has been cultured since 1751. It is represented by two varieties: var. erythrocarpa Rehd.

Isolation of Phytotoxic Compounds from Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima Swingle)
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2003The aqueous root extract of Ailanthus altissima showed allelopathic activity against radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. "Saxa"), garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), and purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) seeds. A bioassay-oriented purification of active extracts, chromatographic fractions, and compounds demonstrated dose-dependent activity on germination ...

[Aromatic trees and herbs that connect Heaven and earth].
Yakushigaku zasshi, 2008It has been known for a long time that aromatic substances (essential oils) contained in plants often exert psychological effects ranging from sedative to excitatory actions. Medicinal effects have also been confirmed through numerous experiences. In ancient times, aromatic trees and herbs were offered to deities, mostly as incenses that were believed ...

Tree of heaven or hell? On the ecology of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle
2019Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services for society. Their provisioning is increasingly challenged by rapid changes in climate and socio-economy, and the spread of non-native tree species. To ensure the continuous provision of ecosystem services, sound scientific knowledge on the potential of tree species to cope with and adapt to these ...
