Resistance Mechanisms of Oxalis Pes-Oaprae (Soursob) to 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

Toxicity of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid – Molecular Mechanisms

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture. The residues of 2,4-D are present in air, water, soil and edibles. It constitutes a real hazard for human and animal health as numerous accidents of poisoning deaths caused by this herbicide have been reported. However, the molecular mechanism of its action is still unknown. The point of view concerning the toxi...

Sensitivity of the invasive geophyte Oxalis pes-caprae to nutrient availability and competition.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Invasion by alien plants may be partially related to disturbance-related increases in nutrient availability and decreases of competition with native species, and to superior competitive ability of the invader. Oxalis pes-caprae is an invasive winter geophyte in the Mediterranean Islands that reproduces vegetatively via bulbs. An investigation was made into the relative respo...

Demography of the invasive geophyte Oxalis pes-caprae across a Mediterranean island.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Success during the early stages of the life-history of alien plants is essential for invasion to occur. The reproductive components of plant invaders have mostly been studied in species reproducing sexually but little is known about invaders that depend exclusively on vegetative reproduction. In this paper, the importance of the different recruitment stages on population gro...

Oxalis Pes-Caprae F. Pleniflora (Lowe) Sunding (Oxalidaceae), A New Record for the Flora of Turkey

Oxalis pes-caprae f. pleniflora (Lowe) Sunding (Oxalidaceae), a naturalized invasive alien is recorded for the first time from Turkey. It has staminodes and double petals as different properties from Oxalis pes-caprae L. Sympatric variations occured in the species populations could be the result of an accumulation of mutations or genome rearrangement. Invasive alien weed Oxalis pes-caprae and i...
