TLDR
It is argued that such communication is part of the similarities in plant and animal responses to stress and may contribute to plant defense.Abstract:
Allelopathy is identified particularly with chemical activity between plants; entomologists refer to allelochemicals in a broader context. Recent work shows that several groups of compounds associated with allelopathy also play a part in communication between plants and other organisms. It is argued that such communication is part of the similarities in plant and animal responses to stress and may contribute to plant defense.read more

Allelopathy of Aquatic Autotrophs
TL;DR: Field evidence and laboratory studies indicate that allelopathy occurs in all aquatic habitats (marine and freshwater), and that all primary producing organisms (cyanobacteria, micro- and macroalgae as well as angiosperms) are capable of producing and releasing allelopathically active compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophysiological Approach in Allelopathy
TL;DR: Allelopathy can be effective only when plants are in stress due to other mechanisms, for example, when there is a lack of water or competition for nutrients or light is strong, and in those conditions, allelochemicals production has been shown to increase.

Effects of Monoterpenoids, Acting Alone or in Pairs, on Seed Germination and Subsequent Seedling Growth
TL;DR: The potential allelopathic activity of 47 monoterpe- noids of different chemical groups is compared, by estimating their effect on seed germination and subsequent growth of Lactuca sativa seedlings, and a model was used to investigate whether compounds acted independently when applied in pairs.

Allelopathy in sustainable agriculture and forestry
TL;DR: The application of lelopathy in agriculture and forestry is discussed in this article, where it is used to promote rhizobacteria and mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable agriculture and Forestry.

Effects of Carbon Dioxide, Water Supply, and Seasonality on Terpene Content and Emission by Rosmarinus officinalis
Josep Peñuelas,Joan Llusià +1 more
TL;DR: More volatile terpenes were proportionally more important in the total emission than in total content and in autumn than in spring, and no significant difference was found in the terpene composition of the plants in the different treatments or seasons.

The Chemical Defenses of Plants to Pathogens and Herbivores
TL;DR: Populations of plants are subject to attack by pathogens and herbivores at all stages of their life cycles, and epidemics or episodes of intensive herbivory may lead directly to the local extinction of a plant species, or may weaken plants and make them vulnerable to subsequent pressures.
