Allelopathic potential of the invasive species Aster lanceolatus Willd.

Composition of essential oil and allelopathic activity of aromatic water of Aster lanceolatus Willd. (Asteraceae)

The essential oil obtained from flowers of Aster lanceolatus was submitted the CG-MS and presented as result thirteen substances with largest concentration; among them, the caryophyllene oxide with the larger one. The aromatic water obtained during the extraction process of this essential oil was forwarded to allelopathic test, and demonstrated to be capable to inhibit the germination and growt...

Allelopathic Potential of Invasive Plantago virginica on Four Lawn Species

Plantago virginica L. has invaded many lawn ecosystems in the Eastern part of China. The invasion has incurred an economic cost to remove them. In order to prevent the invasion, it is critical to understand the invasive mechanisms of this species. However, few studies have been conducted on the allelopathic mechanisms of its invasion. In this study, we examined allelopathic effects of P. virgin...

Allelopathic Potential of Aerial Parts from Mikania scandens (L.) Willd

The present study aimed the evaluation of allelopathic effect of hydroalcoholic extract from the aerial parts of Mikania scandens (L.) Willd. (Asteraceae); against the germination and radicle growth of Cicer arietinum and Triticum aestivum seeds. The extract at different concentrations was incubated in controlled conditions with the surface sterilized seeds of C. arietinum and T. aestivum and o...

Relative allelopathic potential of invasive plant species in a young disturbed woodland

Potential for the Invasive Species Aedes Albopictus and Arboviral Transmission through the Chabahar Port in Iran

Background: Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses are emerging infectious disease threats wherever suitable vectors, hosts, and habitat are present. The aim of the present study was to use the bioagent transport and environmental modeling system (BioTEMS) to identify the potential for arbovirus-infected Aedes species to invade the Chabahar area in southeastern Iran. Methods: ArcGIS geospatial a...
