What is the scientific background of Japanese knotweed?

Japanese knotweed, a highly invasive plant species, has undergone multiple reclassifications since it was first identified. Initially placed in the Polygonum genus, it has moved through various taxonomic stages, being categorised under Fallopia and, most recently, Reynoutria. Understanding its biology and behaviour is crucial for managing and controlling its spread, preventing further ecological and economic damage.
