Journal ArticleDOI
The role of root exudates and allelochemicals in the rhizosphere
TL;DR: Recent research onRoot exudation and the role of allelochemicals in the rhizosphere is outlined by studying the case of three plants that have been shown to produce allelopathic root exudates: black walnut, wheat and sorghum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of Allelopathy for Weed Management in Agroecosystems
TL;DR: The ability to understand the physiological basis for allelopathy in a crop plant may allow the weed scientist or ecologist to work closely with molecular biologists or traditional plant breeders to selectively enhance the traits responsible for weed suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Competition and Allelopathy on the Trade-Off between Plant Defense and Growth in Two Contrasting Tree Species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of chemically-mediated plant-plant interference (i.e., allelopathy) as a driver of Mediterranean forest dynamics was investigated, and a hierarchical response to biotic interference was observed in terms of relative impact on growth and plant defense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weed and Crop Allelopathy
Leslie A. Weston,Stephen O. Duke +1 more
TL;DR: A new challenge that exists for future plant scientists is to generate additional information on allelochemical mechanisms of release, selectivity and persistence, mode of action, and genetic regulation so as to further protect plant biodiversity and enhance weed management strategies in a variety of ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids: Their Structure, Biosynthesis and Role in the Rhizosphere, Including Allelopathy
TL;DR: Classic examples of flavonoids involvement in autotoxicity and allelopathy are presented and their activity and fate in the soil rhizosphere in selected examples involving pasture legumes, cereal crops, and ferns are described.
