Abstract Myers, C. V., R. C. Anderson, and D. L. Byers (Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics Section, 4120 Department of Biological Sciences, Illinois State University, Normal, IL 61790-4120). Influence of shading on the growth and leaf photosynthesis of the invasive non-indigenous plant garlic mustard [Alliaria petiolata (M. Bieb) Cavara and Grande] grown under simulated late-winter to mid-spring conditions. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 132: 1–10. 2005.—Plasticity in photosynthetic response to varied light conditions likely contributes to the successful spread and domination of eastern deciduous forest ground layers by the invasive, non-indigenous plant species Alliaria petiolata. We examined the effects of growing plants with no shading, or under 30% or 60% black shade cloth on leaf photosynthetic rates, maximum rates of leaf photosynthesis (Amax) and stomatal conductance (gSmax), light compensation point, above and below ground biomass, chlorophyll content and specific leaf mass of A. petiolata grown u...
