Through DNA extraction, PCR amplification and DNA sequencing, the conservative 18S rRNA sequences of phyllosphere fungi from leaves of Tithonia rotundifolia and Desmodium spicatum were analyzed. The results showed that both plant species shared some common fungi species from the subclass of...

Natural hybridization frequently promotes gene introgression among closely related species in sympatric populations, producing complex patterns of morphological variation. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the dynamics of interspecific gene flow and its morphological patterns is of widespread...

In June 2012 in coastal California (Santa Cruz County), USA, several fields of organic lettuce were interplanted with direct-sown rows of Mexican sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia cv. Torch) to attract beneficial insects. When approximately 2-3 weeks from harvest, lettuce plants began to wilt and...

The evolutionary genetics of invasive species has been relatively unexplored. Hybridization of invasive populations can generate novel genotypes, stimulating the colonization of new environments. A sunflower complex occurring in Mexico formed by two native invasive species, Tithonia tubaeformis and ...

Starting in 2007, two weedy sunflower species, Tithonia rotundifolia (Mill.) S.F.Blake and Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A.Gray (Asteraceae: Heliantheae), were targeted for biological control in South Africa. Surveys conducted in their native range (Mexico) revealed that there were five potential...

Growth, reproduction and resource allocation of the polycarpic Tithonia diversifolia and the monocarpic Tithonia rotundifolia were studied in mixed and monoculture populations. The aim was to identify the characteristics contributing to the invasive habits of these species. Tithonia rotundifolia...

The seed germination and reproductive strategies of T. diversifolia and T. rotundifolia, two invasive species introduced into Africa from North and Central America, were studied to determine the characteristics that make them invasive species in the continent. T. diversifolia is a perennial and...
