Potential allelopathy in Equisetum

Equisetum

posts are held by men. It isn’t always easy for young women to have social confidence necessary to not only engage but stand out in their respective scientific communities and the competition for faculty positions is stiff. That being said, I think a lot has changed for the better in the last 20 years that I have been in science and the climate is still improving. A second challenge that women ...

Artemisia annua Allelopathy as a Potential Striga Control Mechanism

Allelopathy as a potential strategy to improve microalgae cultivation

One of the main obstacles for continuous productivity in microalgae cultivation is the presence of biological contaminants capable of eliminating large numbers of cells in a matter of days or even hours. However, a number of strategies are being used to combat and prevent contamination in microalgae cultivation. These strategies include the use of extreme conditions in the culture media such as...

Allelopathy of Aquatic Autotrophs

Allelopathy in aquatic environments may provide a competitive advantage to angiosperms, algae, or cyanobacteria in their interaction with other primary producers. Allelopathy can influence the competition between different photoautotrophs for resources and change the succession of species, for exarnple, in phytoplankton cornmunities. Field evidence and laboratory studies indicate that allelopat...

Rice Allelopathy and Momilactone

Rice has been extensively studied with respect to its allelopathy as part of a strategy for sustainable weed management options. All available information indicates that rice plants possibly release unknown allelochemicals into the neighbouring environments. A large number of compounds, such as phenolic acids, fatty acids, indoles and terpenes, were identified in rice root exudates and decompos...
