Spatial Distribution Pattern and Risk Assessment of Invasive Alien Plants on Southern Side of the Daba Mountain Area

Yuanyuan Wang et al.

Summary: The southern side of the Daba Mountain area is an important hotspot for global biodiversity and ecological security. However, there is limited knowledge about the distribution and transmission pathways of invasive alien species (IAS) in this area. A study was conducted to count the IAS and analyze the factors affecting their spatial distribution, as well as assess their risk using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results identified 64 IAS belonging to 23 families and 53 genera, with a vertical two-way dispersal pattern observed around rivers and roads. AHP also classified 43 IAS as high or medium risk, primarily distributed in villages and towns. The prevention and control of high- and medium-risk IAS, particularly around rivers and roads, should be prioritized.

Comparative Analysis of Tolerance to Salt Stress and Water Deficit in Two Invasive Weeds of the Genus Erigeron (Asteraceae)

Manel Bellache et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the tolerance of Erigeron bonariensis and E. sumatrensis to salinity and water deficit. The results showed that both species were relatively tolerant to moderate salinity and water deficit, but were sensitive to high NaCl concentrations. The responses to stress differed between the two species, mainly in terms of K+ and proline concentrations.

Functional responses to climate change may increase invasive potential of Carpobrotus edulis

Josefina G. Campoy et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of climate change on the ecophysiological performance of Carpobrotus edulis, a South African plant, and found that expected climate changes may further promote its invasion. Invasive populations showed differences in survival and functional traits compared to native populations, supporting the invasiveness hypothesis.

Functional differentiation of invasive and native plants along a leaf efficiency/safety trade-off

Francesco Petruzzellis et al.

Summary: This study analyzed cost-related, hydraulic, and leaf vein traits of a large assemblage of native and invasive species in the Mediterranean area. Results showed that invasive species had lower leaf construction costs and drought resistance, but potentially higher efficiency in water transport. Additionally, invasive species tended to occupy the fast-growth region of the functional space, independently of growth form and site type.

Osmopriming with Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Germinating Crop Seeds: A Review

Chu Lei et al.

Summary: Research findings suggest that seed priming with polyethylene glycol (PEG) can enhance crop tolerance to abiotic stresses, promoting seed germination and seedling establishment. Despite challenges and limitations, there are opportunities for effective application of seed priming in crop production.

Herbicide Resistance of Centaurea cyanus L. in Poland in the Context of Its Management

Marta Stankiewicz-Kosyl et al.

Summary: The study identified herbicide-resistant cornflower populations in Poland, showing resistance to ALS inhibitors and synthetic auxins, mainly in the northern region. Multiple resistance to different herbicides was observed in some populations. Farmers reported that the distribution of resistant populations was not significantly affected by different tillage systems.

Salt-tolerance screening in Limonium sinuatum varieties with different flower colors

Xiaojing Xu et al.

Summary: The salt tolerance of Limonium sinuatum varieties was evaluated under 250 mmol/L NaCl treatment, with Pink, Yellow, Purple, White, and Blue identified as having the strongest to weakest salt-tolerance ability. Photosynthetic rate was found to be the most reliable and positive indicator of salt tolerance. Pink variety showed the greatest increase in salt gland density under NaCl treatment, suggesting its adaptation to high-salt levels.
