“…One of the advantages of winter rust infestation to plants is that it has the capacity to infest all green parts of plants with rapid multiplication within 8 days (Evans 1987;Parker et al 1994). Though the rust does not kill the host completely, the present findings as well as studies by Fauzi (2009) have also shown that it can significantly reduce the biomass and seed production of parthenium weed. So, it would appear to be a promising biological control agent in mid-altitude (> 1000 m) regions of Nepal.…”

“…partheniicola (H. S. Jackson) Parmelle (hereafter referred to as winter rust), a native of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Central America, is a potential biocontrol agent among 11 agents identified for the control of parthenium weed (Evans 1997;Dhileepan and McFadyen 2012;Dhileepan et al 2019). The host range of the winter rust tested against many plant species indicated the rust to be sufficiently host-specific for the consideration as a biological control agent of parthenium weed, and the rust caused a significant decrease in vegetative growth and seed production of parthenium weed (Evans 1987;Parker et al 1994;Fauzi 2009). With the first introduction as a potential biological control agent for parthenium weed in Australia in 1990, the winter rust has been reported from various countries including Mauritius, India, Kenya, China, Ethiopia, South Africa, Nepal, Tanzania, and Pakistan with no deliberate release (Parker et al 1994;Dhileepan and Strathie 2009;Shrestha 2012;Iqbal et al 2020).…”

Background Partheniumhysterophorus is a noxious invasive weed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Nepal. Among 11 species of biological control agents released to control P. hysterophorus in Ausrtalia, winter rust Puccina abrupta var. partheniicola arrived fortuitously and has established in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, nearly a decade back. However, the prevalence and effectiveness of this rust as a biological control agent in Kathmandu remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, a roadside survey was done at an interval of 2 ± 0.25 km in Kathmandu Valley to assess the P. abrupta var. partheniicola incidence and its impacts on P. hysterophorus. Infested individuals of P. hysterophorus were further divided into four severity classes (very low, low, medium, and high), and rust incidence was calculated. The impact of the winter rust on the growth of P. hysterophorus was assessed by comparing biomass and seed output of infested and non-infested individuals. Results Among 81 locations where P. hysterophorus was present in the Kathmandu Valley, winter rust infestation was observed at 98% locations. At some locations within Kathmandu Valley such as Tinkune, Kirtipur, Chabahil, Buddha Chowk, and Dhobighat, the impacts of the rust on P. hysterophorus were medium to high. Aboveground biomass and seed output of P. hysterophorus were reduced by 47% and 73%, respectively, due to winter rust infestation. The study indicates that winter rust incidence is widespread in Kathmandu Valley with very low to high levels of damages to P. hysterophorus depending on the localities. Conclusion The rust has, therefore, a potential to reduce the growth performance of P. hysterophorus, and it can be used as a component of integrated management of P. hysterophorus by introducing to other suitable areas in Nepal.

“…For example, in glasshouse studies in north Queensland, the average number of capitula produced per plant ranged from 3,000 to 7,000 (< 12,000 to 28,000 seeds/plant) (Dhileepan et al 2000;Dhileepan and McFadyen 2001). Reduced capitulum production under field conditions in comparison to those reported from glasshouse studies (Dhileepan et al 1996(Dhileepan et al , 2000Dhileepan and McFadyen 2001;Dhileepan 2003;Fauzi 2009;Navie et al 1996b;Williams and Groves 1980) is possibly due to the combined effects of interspecific plant competition as well as biological control (Dhileepan 2003). In India, capitulum production varied across states, ranging from 216 to 350 capitula per plant (< 864 to 1,400 seeds per plant) in Himachal Pradesh (Singh and Kour 1997), and from 37 to 10,400 seeds per plant (< 10 to 2,600 capitula per plant) in Jammu & Kashmir (Angiras and Saine 1997).…”

“…So far, the variability in reproductive output in parthenium weed at the individual plant level in a plant population context has not been studied. Available information on capitulum production of parthenium weed in Australia is based on glasshouse studies (Dhileepan et al 1996(Dhileepan et al , 2000Dhileepan and McFadyen 2001;Dhileepan 2003;Fauzi 2009;Navie et al 1996b;Williams and Groves 1980). Except for a report that the parthenium weed produced up to 15,000 seeds in its life time under field conditions (Haseler 1976), no reliable information is available on the number of capitula produced by individual plants under field conditions.…”

Parthenium weed, an annual herb native to tropical America, causes severe economic, human, and animal health and environmental impacts in Australia and in many countries in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. There is little known about variation in reproductive output in naturally occurring populations of this weed. This information is vital to develop plant population models, devise management strategies to reduce seed output, and formulate parthenium weed pollen-induced human health (e.g., dermatitis and hay fever) risk assessment. Here, the variations in the number of capitula produced by the parthenium weed at two sites in Queensland, Australia, over a 4-yr period are reported. Under field conditions, parthenium weed produced up to 39,192 capitula per plant (> 156,768 seeds per plant), with majority of the plants (≈ 75%) producing between 11 and 1,000 capitula, and less than 0.3% of the plants producing more than 10,000 capitula (> 40,000 seeds per plant). The number of capitula per plant in the field (297 ± 22) was much lower than those reported from glasshouse and laboratory studies. Plant biomass contributed to 50 to 80% of the variation in capitulum production between plants within plots at each site, and weed density accounted for 62 to 73% of the variation in capitulum production between plots within each site. As plant size is directly correlated with reproductive output, plant size distributions in parthenium weed can be used to estimate effective population size. Information on variation in reproductive output will be used to implement management strategies to reduce parthenium weed seed output, resulting in reduced soil seed bank and weed seed spread.

“…Majority of these genes associated with either host plant resistance mechanisms against various pathogens and pests or the biotic stresses. Thus, the P. hysterophorus plants might have showed greater endurance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and showed its best survival nature baring a few such as witches broom disease (Li et al 2011;Keshwal, 1982;Yadav et al 2015;Fauzi, 2009). Further, the expression pattern of some of the pathogenesis related genes viz; pathogenesis-related protein 1 (PR-1), nematode resistance protein-(HSPRO2), rust resistance kinase Lr10, chitinase1, leaf rust 10 disease-resistance locus receptor-like protein kinase (Like 1.3), and defensin-A3 were evaluated among different tissue of healthy plant as well as phytoplasma infected plants (Table 4; Figure 3) showing symptoms of witches broom disease.…”

Parthenium hysterophorus L. is a notorious weed, which significantly reduce yield and quality of crops and causes several problems to human health. In, present study an attempt was made to understand the economic value, and survival nature of Parthenium through deep transcriptome analysis. Transcriptome analysis of leaf and root tissue of P. hysterophorus had resulted 7,832,143 reads in case of leaves, and 9,646,830 reads in case of roots sample with longest read length of 300 and 298 nucleotides, respectively. A total of 35,719 contigs were produced with an average length of 548bp after an assembly in all two samples. The Blastn of the above generated contigs with 61,901 sequences of P. argentatum resulted in the identification of 25,947 novel contigs specific to P. hysterophorus. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway based analysis showed the expression of genes associated with pathways pertaining to biosynthesis of Glucosinolate, Amino acids, and Aminobenzoate degradation etc. The expression pattern of genes like Artemisinic aldehyde Delta (11(13)) reductase, Codeine O-demethylase, Taraxerol synthase, and Curculin-2 related to biosynthetic of therapeutic importance pathways was also evidenced. Further, the heavy metal accumulator property of P. hysterophorus was also studied. Expression analysis of heavy metal transporters such as ferrous ion transport protein B, and zinc transporter in roots was also validated with its heavy metal transport activity. This investigation provides new insights for functional studies of P. hysterophorus genes involved in biosynthesis of therapeutically important secondary metabolites, and other possible uses such as raw material for rubber industry.
