Natural hybrids of black and grey alders can be characterised by higher resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors. The explants of alder hybrid 026 were characterised by stronger leaf development and were shown to increase germination of neighbouring alder seeds and seedling development under the stress from fungi Cladosporium cladosporioides ...

ABSTRACT Acacia dealbata has invaded South African grasslands, yet few studies have assessed its invasion and clearing effects on grasslands. We assessed the soil (moisture, repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity) and vegetation (diversity, composition and cover) impacts of A.

Allelopathy: The Chemical Language of Plants
In Nature, the oldest method of communication between living systems is the chemical language. Plants, due to their lack of mobility, have developed the most sophisticated way of chemical communication. Despite that many examples involve this chemical communication process-allelopathy, there is still a lack of information about specific allelochemicals
