• Epigenetics: a potential mechanism for clonal plant success (2015, background): “Phragmites australis (Kettenring et al. 2010), Arundo donax (Kui et al. 2013), and Fallopia japonica (Hollingsworth and Bailey 2008) are just a few examples of extremely competitive and invasive clonal plants (reviewed in Thompson et al. 1995).”
• Ecological Genetics of Plant Invasion: What Do We Know? (2008, background): “The most striking example is Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica [5Polygonum cuspidatum]), which Hollingsworth and Bailey (2000) reported to be genetically identical across invasion sites sampled throughout the United Kingdom.”
• Invasion by Fallopia japonica increases topsoil mineral nutrient concentrations (2007, background): “…possible impact of climate change on its future distribution (Beerling, Huntley & Bailey, 1995), genetic diversity (Hollingsworth et al., 1998; Hollingsworth & Bailey, 2000), impacts on native plant and animal communities (Beerling & Dawah, 1993; Beerling, Bailey & Conolly, 1994; Maertz,…”
• Epigenetics for ecologists. (2007, background): “…Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) or fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) do not, in spite of their broad ecological distribution, appear to possess any genetic variation in their introduced ranges (Hollingsworth & Bailey 2000; Xu et al. 2003; Mandák et al. 2005; Le Roux et al. 2007).”
• Direct interactions between invasive plants and native pollinators: evidence, impacts and approaches (2017, background): “For example, the widespread invasive Fallopia japonica, which reproduces sexually in North America (Forman & Kesseli 2003), relies entirely on clonal spread in parts of its European range (Hollingsworth & Bailey 2000).”
• Genetic diversity does not affect the invasiveness of fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) in Arizona, California and Hawaii (2005, background): “Several authors have cited asexuality or clonality to be a common trait of invasive species (Gray, 1986; Wilen et al ., 1995; Amsellem et al ., 2000; Hollingsworth & Bailey, 2000), yet low variability within populations may decrease fountain grass’s ability to rapidly adapt to new environments,…”
• The potential role of polyploidy and hybridisation in the further evolution of the highly invasive Fallopia taxa in Europe (2007, background): “…Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK invasibility may occur without any adaptation to a new environment, and a species could successfully invade a community without any evolutionary changes, e.g. the invasions by single clones of Fallopia japonica (Bailey et al. 1995; Hollingsworth and Bailey 2000a).”
• Phenotypic plasticity rather than locally adapted ecotypes allows the invasive alligator weed to colonize a wide range of habitats (2007, unknown): “Other authors also found several invasive plants with low or no genetic variation in their introduced areas: e.g., Rubus alceifolius in Australia (Amsellem et al. 2000), Fallopia japonica in Britain (Hollingsworth 2000), Spartina anglica in France (Baumel et al. 2001) and Pennisetum setaceum in the ”
• A Review of the Biology and Ecology of Three Invasive Perennials in New York State: Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and Pale Swallow-wort (Vincetoxicum rossicum) (2005, background): “When cutting vegetation, it is recommended to rake and remove all vegetative parts because stem fragments, as well as rhizomes, can re-sprout (Brock et al., 1995; Hollingsworth and Bailey, 2000; Seiger and Merchant, 1997).”
• Genetic diversity of alligator weed in China by RAPD analysis (2003, methodology): “RAPD was considered as a powerful tool to determine the extent or age of clones in many clonal plants (Stewart and Nilsen 1995; Steinger et al. 1996; Keller 2000), and now has shown excellent outputs in analyzing the genetic variations of some invasive species (Stiller and Denton 1995; Hollingswort”
