Functional Trait Differences between Weedy and Non-weedy Plants in Southern California
Weedy plants may have unique functional traits that distinguish them from other species. We categorized four annual plant species as weedy and five as non-weedy based on their prevalence in disturbed and invaded environments. This designation was tested in a field trial where we scattered equal numbers of viable seeds in 20 different plots and monitored density and cover over three months. The ...
متن کاملImpact of Interspecific Hybridization between Crops and Weedy Relatives on the Evolution of Flowering Time in Weedy Phenotypes
BACKGROUND Like conventional crops, some GM cultivars may readily hybridize with their wild or weedy relatives. The progressive introgression of transgenes into wild or weedy populations thus appears inevitable, and we are now faced with the challenge of determining the possible evolutionary effects of these transgenes. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the impact of interspecific ...
متن کاملWeedy Setaria Seed Life History
The nature of weeds is a complex adaptive, soil-seed communication system. The nature of weedy Setaria life history is an adaptable, changeable system in which complex behaviors emerge when self-similar plant components self-organize into functional traits possessing biological information about spatial structure and temporal behavior. The nature of the weedy Setaria is revealed in the physical...
متن کاملQuantitative trait locus and haplotype analyses of wild and crop-mimic traits in U.S. weedy rice.
Conspecific weeds retained characteristics from wild ancestors and also developed crop mimicries for adaptation and competitiveness. This research was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the wild and crop-mimic traits and to determine haplotype variants for QTL-rich regions in U.S. weedy rice. An F2 population from the cross between a cultivated (EM93-1) and a U....
متن کاملInheritance of Seed Dormancy in Weedy Rice
should provide new insight into seed dormancy and resistance to preharvest sprouting. Seed dormancy contributes to the adaptability of plants in nature Rice germplasm (Oryza spp.) varies in degree of seed and is of considerable importance in agriculture. The weedy rice dormancy (Roberts, 1961a; Wu, 1978; Oka, 1988, p. 87– (Oryza sativa L.) strains LD, SS18-2, and TKN12-2 and cultivar ‘N22’ 123;...
