Abstract Many invasive plants have enhanced mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal associations, however, mechanisms underlying differences in AM associations between introduced and native populations of not been explored. Here we test the hypothesis that variation root exudate chemicals affects colonization then impacts plant performance. We examined flavonoids (quercetin quercitrin) exudates Triadica sebifera tested their effects on fungi found from had higher concentrations...

Summary 1. Invasive plants often have novel biotic interactions in their introduced ranges. These interactions, including less frequent herbivore attacks, may convey a competitive advantage over native plants. vary defence strategies (resistance vs. tolerance) or response to the type of (generalists specialists), but no study date has examined this broad set traits simultaneously. 2. Here, we resistance and tolerance Chinese tallow ( Triadica sebifera ) populations from ranges generalist...
One kind of hydroxycinnamic acid is calceolarioside A. Plantago coronopus, Cassinopsis madagascariensis, and other organisms for whom data are available known to have this naturally occurring compound. IC50 values Calceolarioside A ovarian cell lines (NIH-OVCAR-3, ES-2, UACC-1598, Hs832.Tc, TOV-21G, UWB1.289) were 24.42, 13.50, 9.31, 14.90, 20.07, 16.18 µM, respectively. 19.83 73.48 µM tyrosinase HMG-CoA reductase enzymes.

In the present study, we investigated anti-fatigue activity in male Kunming mice of extracts stem bark from Acanthopanax senticosus (ASSE) using a forced swimming test. Mice were divided into four groups (three ASSE administered and control group). The group gavaged with distilled water (100, 200 400 mg/kg). After weeks, test was performed biochemical parameters related to fatigue examined. results suggested that could extend time exhaustion mice, as well increase tissue glycogen contents,...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plant leaves can influence the physiology of neighbouring plants. In contrast to leaf VOCs, little is known about role root VOCs in plant-plant interactions. Here, we characterize constitutive VOC emissions spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe) and explore impact these on germination growth different sympatric species. We show that C. stoebe roots emit high amounts sesquiterpenes, with estimated release rates (E)-β-caryophyllene above 3 μg g-1 dw...
Conspecific and heterospecific aboveground belowground herbivores often occur together in nature their interactions may determine community structure. Here we show how adults larvae of the tallow tree specialist beetle Bikasha collaris multiple species interact to herbivore performance. facilitate larvae, but other damage inhibits or has no effect. Belowground increase conspecific adult feeding, decrease insect feeding abundance. Chemical analyses experiments with plant populations varying...
Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plant roots can influence the germination and growth of neighbouring plants. However, little is known about effects root VOCs on plant–herbivore interactions The spotted knapweed ( Centaurea stoebe ) constitutively releases high amounts sesquiterpenes into rhizosphere. Here, we examine impact C . primary secondary metabolites sympatric Taraxacum officinale plants resulting plant‐mediated a generalist herbivore, white grub Melolontha...
Invasive plants often have novel biotic interactions in their introduced ranges. Their defense to herbivory may differ from native counterparts, potentially influencing the effectiveness of biological control. If invasive decreased resistance but increased tolerance enemies, insect herbivores rapidly build up populations exert weak Moreover, resource availability affect efficacy control agents. We tested these predictions using Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera) and two specialist...
Global climate changes have increased the duration and frequency of river flow interruption, affecting physical community structure benthic biofilms. However, dynamic responses biofilm metabolism during dry-wet transition remain poorly understood. Herein, in metabolic activities were investigated through mesocosm experiments under short-term (25 day) long-term drought (90 day), followed by a 20 day rewetting. The ecosystem metabolism, as measured gross primary production respiration, was...

Abstract Invasive plants typically escape specialist herbivores but are often attacked by generalist in their introduced ranges. The shifting defense hypothesis suggests that this will cause invasive to evolve lower resistance against specialists, higher generalists, and greater tolerance herbivore damage. However, the duration direction of selective pressures can shape evolutionary responses for plants. Two critical factors (1) residence time (length an species has been its range) (2)...
Summary Herbivore communities are shaped by indirect plant‐mediated interactions whose outcomes strongly dependent on the sequence of herbivore arrival. However, mechanisms underlying specificity poorly understood. We examined that govern sequence‐specific effects interaction between two specialist maize herbivores, leaf feeder Spodoptera frugiperda and root Diabrotica virgifera . In field, S. reduces D. v. abundance, but only when it arrives plant first. behavioral experiments, larvae...
Abstract In support of the prediction enemy release hypothesis regarding a growth–defense trade‐off, invasive alien plants often exhibit greater growth and lower anti‐herbivory defenses than native plants. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment invaded habitats may influence competitive interactions between co‐occurring plants, as well production anti‐herbivore defense compounds, growth‐promoting hormones, defense‐regulating hormones by two groups Here, we tested whether: (i)...
Climate warming and anthropogenic activities have led to an increase in the prevalence of non‐native plants mountainous regions that previously exhibited limited occurrences. This phenomenon has resulted detrimental effects on endemic ecosystem functions. However, variation traits successfully spread high elevations, as well underlying drivers these changes, remains poorly understood. In this study, we use Erigeron annuus , a cosmopolitan plant invaded our model explore its individual...
Interactions between above- and belowground herbivory may, affect plant performance structure communities. Though many studies have documented interactions of invasive plants and.herbivores, none shows how herbivores interact to performance. Here, in a common garden China, we subjected genetically differentiated tallow trees (Triadica sebifera) from native (China) invaded (United States) ranges by aboveground adults larvae specialist beetle, Bikasha collaris. Overall, relative U.S. had...
To date, it remains unclear how herbivore-induced changes in plant primary and secondary metabolites impact above-ground below-ground herbivore interactions. Here, we report effects of (adult) (larval) feeding by Bikasha collaris on nitrogen chemicals shoots roots Triadica sebifera to explain reciprocal insect Plants increased root tannins with herbivory, but herbivory prevented this increase larval survival doubled. Above-ground elevated nitrogen, probably contributing survival. However,...
