TL;DR: The new strategies for sustainable ecosystems controlled by allelochemicals offer a particular interest for the development of human bases in space, since these products can stimulate or inhibit plant germination and growth, and permit to develop crops with low residue amounts in water, facilitating wastewater treatment and recycling.

TL;DR: Ten flavone glycosides have been isolated and identified in aerial parts of alfalfa and most of these compounds were acylated with ferulic, coumaric, or sinapic acids, and acylation occurred on the terminal glucuronic acid.

TL;DR: The methanolic extract from sweetclover, Melilotus messanensis, afforded the new coumestan melimessanol A, the 3-arylcoumarin melIMessanol B and the 2-arylbenzofuran melimessesanol C, which where identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A Standard Bioassay with selected Standard Target Species (belonging to both monocotyledonous and dicotylingonous species) is proposed to overcome the low reproducibility and the difficulties in comparing results from different research groups.

TL;DR: Twenty-four aromatic metabolites belonging to cyanogenins, lignans, flavonoids, and phenolic glycosides were obtained from Sambucus nigra and some compounds show different effects on dicotyledons and monocotYledons.
