Application of Allelochemicals to Agriculture
Biological Sciences in Space, 2003 The study of allelopathy has a long history, and its application to agricultural production has long been anticipated. Recently, researchers have found allelopathic plants that are now used as cover crops, and allelochemicals which may lead to new herbicides.

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Durum wheat and allelopathy: towards wheat breeding for natural weed management
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout the world, and it has been extensively studied for its allelopathic ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Essential oils from orange and citronella showed dose‐dependent inhibition of weed germination and early growth, highlighting their potential as bioherbicides and sustainable tools for integrated weed management. Abstract BACKGROUND Increasing selection of herbicide‐resistant weed biotypes has intensified the search for alternatives to the intensive ...

The Impact of Life History Traits and Defensive Abilities on the Invasiveness of Ulex europaeus L.
DiversityUlex europaeus L. has been introduced into many countries as an ornamental and hedgerow plant, and it often escapes its intended location, establishing dense, feral thickets. These thickets threaten the structure and function of native flora and fauna in

The Role of Silicon in Antiherbivore Phytohormonal Signalling
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The role of plant silicon (Si) in the alleviation of abiotic and biotic stress is now widely recognised and researched. Amongst the biotic stresses, Si is known to increase resistance to herbivores through biomechanical and chemical mechanisms, although ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...
