Parthenium hysterophorus

Is intraspecific trait differentiation in Parthenium hysterophorus a consequence of hereditary factors and/or phenotypic plasticity?

“…Parthenium hysterophorus L. (ragweed parthenium; Asteraceae) is an obnoxious invasive weed of the tropical and subtropical regions that has occupied the non-native biomes across five continents ( Kaur et al., 2021 ). The plant is previously known to reflect intraspecific variations in the morpho-functional traits ( Kaur et al., 2019 ), physiological and biochemical attributes ( Bajwa et al., 2017 ), reproductive biology ( Hanif et al., 2012 ), phenology ( Kaur et al., 2017 ), and phytotoxicity ( Kaur et al., 2022 ).…”
