Genetic Relationships among Invasive Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle) Biotypes in the US and Their Implications for Management

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle (hydrilla; Hydrocharitaceae), an invasive submersed plant native to Southeast Asia and Australia, was first introduced into the US through the aquarium trade in Florida in the 1950s (Schmitz et al. 1991). Hydrilla impacts freshwater resources in the US by its aggressive, canopy-forming growth that degrades aquatic ecosystems, limits recreation, fouls boat motors, and clogs irrigation and hydroelectric plants.

متن کاملSomatic mutation-mediated evolution of herbicide resistance in the nonindigenous invasive plant hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata).
Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle) was introduced to the surface water of Florida in the 1950s and is today one of the most serious aquatic weed problems in the USA. As a result of concerns associated with the applications of pesticides to aquatic systems, fluridone is the only USEPA-approved chemical that provides systemic control of hydrilla. After a decrease in fluridone's efficacy ...

INTRODUCTION: Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle, a member of the Hydrocharitaceae, was introduced into Florida in the 1950’s (Schmitz et al. 1991). The introduction was the dioecious biotype with only gynoecious plants making up the original infestation. Today hydrilla has invaded at least 21 states either as dioecious or monoecious biotypes or both (Richardson 2008). Called “the perfect aquat...

Giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta Mitchell) is a nuisance, free-floating aquatic fern that can double biomass in 10 days through vegetative reproduction. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle) is a perennial submersed aquatic plant that can propagate from stem fragments, turions, and subterranean tubers representing a triple threat for management methods. Both plants disrupt water bodies ...

The hydrilla tip mining midge, Cricotopus lebetis Sublette (Diptera: Chironomidae), is a biological control agent of the invasive aquatic weed hydrilla, Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle (Hydrocharitaceae). Mass rearing of the midge for augmentative releases can be compromised by competition from the adventive hydrilla leafcutter moth, Parapoynx diminutalis Snellen (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Th...
