chemical-signaling-and-allelopathy
Chemical signaling and allelopathy refer to the production and release of biochemical compounds by plants that influence the growth, survival, or reproduction of neighboring organisms. These interactions—ranging from root exudates to volatile emissions—play a fundamental role in shaping plant community dynamics, competition, and ecosystem structure. Understanding these chemical pathways has broad implications for sustainable agriculture, weed management, and the development of natural herbicides.
