Our open access paper just came out in #NeoBiota.
Biosecurity risks from weed seeds in crop seed imported into Canada: prevalence, trends and herbicide resistance.
Lead author Jesse Rubenstein's efforts brought Lincoln University, SIRC and AgResearch scientists together to examine Canadian seed inspection data. He led similar work for NZ, which was published earlier.

Overview: We analysed twelve years (2007โ2019) of Canadian Food Inspection Agency monitoring data for more than 2,000 randomly sampled seed lots imported from the United States. Of the hundreds of contaminant species recorded, 70% were introduced in Canada, 23% were native, and 7% were previously unrecorded (absent) in Canada. Contaminants with a known history of herbicide resistance in the USA but not in Canada increased significantly over time (e.g., Sorghum halepense, Poa annua). Noxious weeds declined across the study period and were reported significantly less frequently than non-noxious weeds, while entry-prohibited species were rare, limited to four records of Cuscuta spp. We identified 14 weed species absent from Canada, with Trifolium vesiculosum the most common, while Chenopodium album was the most widespread across crop species. Regulatory concerns include the import of crops also classified as noxious or problematic weeds (Bromus tectorum, Poa annua), permitting contaminants absent from Canada in seed lots, and the dual classification of species that are native but also entry-prohibited (Cuscuta campestris). Our study underscores the need for continued monitoring, risk assessment, and adaptive regulation to protect agriculture and biodiversity while accommodating global seed trade.
Weโd be glad to hear your thoughts, and please do share with anyone who might find it interesting. #IAS #biosecurity #weeds #weedscience

#JapaneseKnotweed: an invasive plant's potential for innovation
Classified as an Invasive Alien Species (#IAS), Japanese knotweed is renowned for undermining ecosystems. But some researchers, designers and architects are approaching the tenacious Asian perennial as a resource to create new material solutions for fine crafts, but also for industry. Formes de Luxe shines a light on four makers that are turning this โnuisanceโ plant into an opportunity.

Excerpt: "Inspiring bio-concrete
In the UK, architect Irene Roca Moracia and designer Brigitte Kock (both graduates of Central Saint Martins) have also seized on the potential of invasive knotweed to create what they dub 'bio-concrete'. The material, developed as part of the LVMH Group's Maison/0 program for regenerative luxury, is inspired by the cement made in ancient Rome. Except that in this case, knotweed replaces wood ash and/or volcanic ash. Once incinerated, it is mixed with water and the shells of American signal crayfish - another invasive species in Europe threatening native fauna. The material is then poured into molds to obtain the desired shape.
"No heat treatment is needed as hardening takes place in the open air and no pigments are added either: the final textures and shades depend on factors including the proportions of ingredients in the mix, hardening times and reactions that occur between the water, aggregates (crayfish shells) and the Japanese knotweed binder. With the appearance of raw concrete, marble or natural stone, the duo's hand-shaped bio-concrete tiles come in a range of shades from white to wine-red, with or without inclusions of knotweed root fragments.
"For the moment the material is purely decorative as it cannot integrate structural architectural elements but is suited to store interiors, window displays or even in caps and ornamental pieces for packaging."
