Novel chemistry of invasive plants: exotic species have more unique metabolomic profiles than native congeners
It is often assumed that exotic plants can become invasive when they possess novel secondary chemistry compared with native plants in the introduced range. Using untargeted metabolomic fingerprinting, we compared a broad range of metabolites of six successful exotic plant species and their native co...
