New sesquiterpenoids from Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.

New gSSR and EST-SSR markers reveal high genetic diversity in the invasive plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and can be transferred to other invasive Ambrosia species

Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., (common ragweed), is an annual invasive and highly troublesome plant species originating from North America that has become widespread across Europe. New sets of genomic and expressed sequence tag (EST) based simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers were developed in this species using three approaches. After validation, 13 genomic SSRs and 13 EST-SSRs were retained an...

Distribution of Invasive Weed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in Croatia

Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., is an invasive alien plant in Europe that has been the subject of research of many scientifi c disciplines, particularly in last twenty years. In addition to being known as a noxious weed, it came into the public interest as a source of very strong allergenic pollen that causes allergic responses in 10% of the Croatian population, a fi gure similar to that of other E...

Ambrosia artemisiifolia – a motivation for European-wide control

Introduction Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) or simply ambrosia is an annual shrub of North American origin. It has been present in Europe since ~1860 (HEGI, 1908) arriving probably through polluted clover seed grains and hay and straw from North America. Highly infested regions in Europe are the French Rhone valley, the Italian Po valley and some former Yugoslavian states, as well ...
