Allelopathic Potential of Tropical Plants—A Review

Agronomy, 2023
The need to meet food demand becomes more urgent as it is forecasted to increase by 50% over the next century. Thus, agronomists promote sensible tools and approaches to eradicate factors that hamper crop production, mainly weeds.

Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Rhizosphere effects of Helianthus annuus and Hordeum vulgare on allelochemical sorption and degradation in soil

Geoderma
Soil plays a crucial role in determining the activity of allelochemicals in natural and agricultural ecosystems. To identify potential differences in allelochemical availability and persistence between root-influenced soil (rhizosphere) and bulk soil, we

Seasonal Changes in the Plant Growth-Inhibitory Effects of Rosemary Leaves on Lettuce Seedlings

Plants, 2022
Plant biodiversity has been studied to explore allelopathic species for the sustainable management of weeds to reduce the reliance on synthetic herbicides. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L., syn Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.), was found to have plant growth-

Evaluation of Agave angustifolia as a Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides: Phytochemical Composition and Multi‐Trophic Bioactivity

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The pesticidal potential of Agave angustifolia by assessing its anti‐nematic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities, alongside phytochemical profiling. ABSTRACT Plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses contribute significantly to annual crop losses and economic hardship. Reliance on chemical pesticides, over a thousand used

Responses of a native plant species from invaded and uninvaded areas to allelopathic effects of an invader

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Invaders exert new selection pressures on the resident species, for example, through competition for resources or by using novel weapons. It has been shown that novel weapons aid invasion but it is unclear whether native species co‐occurring with ...

From fertilizer to insecticide: urban leaf litter chemistry alters the survival landscape of Aedes aegypti

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...
