Allelopathy and Exotic Plant Invasion: From Molecules and Genes to Species Interactions
Abstract
Here we present evidence that Centaurea maculosa (spotted knapweed), an invasive species in the western United States, displaces native plant species by exuding the phytotoxin (–)-catechin from its roots. Our results show inhibition of native species' growth and germination in field soils at natural concentrations of (–)-catechin. In susceptible species such as Arabidopsis thaliana , the allelochemical triggers a wave of reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiated at the root meristem, which leads to a Ca 2 + signaling cascade triggering genome-wide changes in gene expression and, ultimately, death of the root system. Our results support a “novel weapons hypothesis” for invasive success.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
