A thorough revision and update of the first edition, this Second
Edition is designed to create an awareness of the rapidly
developing field of allelopathy. The author appraises existing
knowledge in certain critical areas, such as roles of allelopathy
in the prevention of seed decay and in the nitrogen cycle, the
chemical nature of allelopathic compounds, factors affecting
concentrations of allelochemics in plants, movement of
allelochemics from plants and absorption and translocation by other
plants, mechanisms of action of allelopathic agents, and factors
determining effectiveness of allelopathic compounds after egression
from producing organisms. Areas in which more basic and applied
research is needed are emphasized. A discussion of terminology and
early history of allelopathy is followed by a discussion of the
important roles of allelopathy in forestry, agriculture, plant
pathology, and natural ecosystems. A separate listing of the phyla
of plants demonstrated to have allelopathic species is also
included.
Allelopathy, Second Edition, is a comprehensive review of the
literature on allelopathy, integrating information on allelopathy
with important information on ecological and agronomic problems,
citing more than 1000 references. Among those who will find this to
be a valuable source of information are ecologists,
horticulturists, botanists, plant pathologists, phytochemists,
agricultural scientists, and plant breeders.
