UD plant biologists uncover top wetland plant's hidden weapon
Date:10/12/2007

nue for preserving the native strain, as well as controlling the invasive's spread, Bais noted.

With the current discovery in hand, Bais said he hopes to pursue further research to pinpoint exactly how the invasive Phragmites has become such a super weed. Such information could help scientists and environmental managers gain a foothold in halting Phragmites' rapid advance across the United States.

We now know this plant secretes a toxin underground, but could it have a partner in crime" Bais asks. Could there be some kind of microbe, a deleterious pathogen, that is associated with this plant" And does this plant use changing environmental systems to its advantage" We just don't know the answers yet, but we'd like to find out.
