Allelopathic Activity of Strigolactones on the Germination of Parasitic Plants and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Growth

Strigolactones (SLs) are a prime example of allelochemicals, promoting parasitic plant germination and certain hyphal branching factors associated to the growth symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, study SLs is complex, various issues have yet be studied in depth. This review intends provide an overview works that been conducted on identification, isolation, evaluation allelopathic activity natural canonical non-canonical weeds AMF growth. These topics were related with their application agriculture through trap crops, suicidal or intercropping strategies. The high applicability agriculture, for example, as preventing herbicides weed control, has increased interest these compounds number research articles published. updates discusses last findings this field, special emphasis results published since 2015, using tables graphs summarize discuss information. promising conclusions obtained from bioassays herein presented good reason encourage support further products, which must also consider disadvantages current limitations present.
