Invasive Weed Nagaetsurunogeito Shows High Photosynthetic Ability, Study Finds

Original: ナガエツルノゲイトウ

Researchers at Toyo University found that Nagaetsurunogeitou (alligatorweed, Alternanthera philoxeroides), an invasive plant spreading along the Shin Tone River in Inashiki, Ibaraki Prefecture, has unusually high photosynthetic capacity that supports rapid stem growth. The findings are expected to help identify the plant's weaknesses and develop more effective control methods against the invasive species.

Why now: A new study on the invasive plant's biology offers hope for better control methods against its spread in Japanese rivers.
