Vallisneria spiralis; aquariums; aquatic plants; botany; ecosystems; heterosis; hybrids; internal transcribed spacers; introduced species; invasive species; markets; ornamental plants; ribosomal DNA; risk; Australia; China; Eurasia; Japan
Abstract:
... The aquatic plant genus Vallisneria, which includes several invasive species, is frequently used as ornamental plants in aquaria. Naturalized populations of Vallisneria have been discovered in Japan and are believed to have escaped from aquaria. We identified these naturalized Vallisneria using the internal transcribed spacer regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrITS). Two accessions of nonnative Va ...

Abstract:
... The historical reconstruction of the origin and dispersal of plant taxa in space and time facilitates a better understanding of their modern distribution patterns. However, most studies of paleobiogeography have focused on terrestrial plants, and the distribution changes of aquatic plants are less well understood. Here we study the lotus plant Nelumbo (Nelumbonaceae), an aquatic perennial herb, wi ...

Abstract:
... Four upper Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous lacustrine Lagerstätten in China and Australia (the Daohugou, Talbragar, Jehol, and Koonwarra biotas) offer glimpses into the representation of plant disseminule strategies during that phase of Earth history in which flowering plants, birds, mammals, and modern insect faunas began to diversify. No seed or foliage species is shared between the Northern ...

Abstract:
... The genus Chara (Linnaeus, 1753) comprises three sections, Chara, Desvauxia, and Grovesia. The subsection Willdenowia (Wood, 1962) of Grovesia is characterized by having the lowest branchlet segment without cortication. One species, Chara zeylanica sensu lato is attributed to the subsection Willdenowia. However, the taxonomy within this genus remains unclear due in part to the considerable overlap ...

Abstract:
... Trapa natans is one of the very few plants that generate so many contrasting views: it is highly endangered in Europe, invasive in North America and Australia, yet highly valued in India and China due to its nutritional and medical properties. Its endangered status in most of the Europe has prompted significant conservation efforts aimed at retention and expansion of its population. T. natans is c ...
