Abstract Plant 1, 4-naphthoquinones encompass a class of specialized metabolites known
to mediate numerous plant–biotic interactions. This class of compounds also presents a …

Due to the difficulty of tracking microbial dispersal, it is rarely possible to disentangle the
relative importance of dispersal and species sorting for microbial community assembly …

This paper presents all current knowledge on the biology of the invasive therophyte
Impatiens glandulifera Royle (Himalayan Balsam), and covers aspects of taxonomy …

In plants, most competition is resource competition, where one plant simply preempts the
resources away from its neighbors. Interference competition, as the name implies, is a form …

Floral nectar is frequently colonised by microbes. However, nectar microbial communities
are typically species‐poor and dominated by few cosmopolitan genera. One hypothesis is …

Thousand cankers disease threatens Juglans nigra (Eastern Black Walnut) in urban and
natural landscapes. Incidence and severity of thousand cankers disease is higher in the …

All vascular plants contain communities of endophyte fungi within their foliar tissues. These
fungi can act as plant bodyguards and disrupt the efficacy of weed biological control agents …

Impatiens balsamina L. is a tropical ornamental and traditional medicinal herb rich in natural
