Giant reed (Arundo donax L.): A weed plant or a promising energy crop? (2012, background): “A recent study based on molecular markers, showed the presence of minimal genetic variability among the populations of giant reeds in the American area, and the authors suggested that all the clones of this area originated from one single clone (Ahmad et al., 2008).”
Origin, diffusion and reproduction of the giant reed (Arundo donax L.): a promising weedy energy crop (2010, background): “Genetic diversity in giant reed was expected to be low based on a previous paper (Khudamrongsawat et al., 2004; Ahmad et al., 2008) and the observed scanty seed production (Dudley, 2000; Di Tomaso & Healey, 2003).”
Genetics and Reproduction of Common (Phragmites australis) and Giant Reed (Arundo donax) (2010, methodology): “These results conflict in that they suggest both genetic uniformity in the introduced range (Ahmad et al. 2008) or low to intermediate levels of diversity on a local scale in both the species’ native (Lewandowski et al. 2003) and introduced ranges (Khudamrongsawat et al. 2004).”
Invasiveness potential of Miscanthus sinensis: implications for bioenergy production in the United States (2010, background): “Fragmentation and movement of rhizomes can result in large-scale invasions of genetically identical clones (e.g. Arundo donax; Khudamrongsawat et al., 2004; Ahmad et al., 2008).”
