allelopathy

1 article

Allelopathy is the production of biochemical compounds by plants that influence the growth, germination, survival, and reproduction of neighboring organisms through chemical signaling. Understanding allelopathy is essential for plant science as it reveals fundamental mechanisms of plant-plant interactions and resource competition, with important applications in agriculture, ecology, and ecosystem management.
