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...
متن کاملSeasonal and spatial dynamics of allelochemicals in the submersed macrophyte Myriophyllum spicatum L
Myriophyllum spicatum L. (or milfoil for short) is a highly competitive submersed macrophyte which can replace other submersed macrophytes and form monospecific stands. Frequently, epiphyte cover and phytoplankton development is low in M. spicatum dominated systems. Milfoil shoots grow fast and tall and tend to form canopies at the water surface depriving underlying photosynthetic organisms of ...
متن کاملAllelopathic activity of Elodea canadensis and Elodea nuttallii against epiphytes and phytoplankton
Elodea nuttallii and Elodea canadensis have both been introduced from North America to Europe. They are now common in many water bodies where they often form dominating stands. It was suggested that negative relationships between Elodea and phytoplankton or epiphytic covers exist, probably due to the release of growth inhibiting allelochemicals. This would be an effective strategy to avoid ligh...
متن کاملCan allelopathically active submerged macrophytes stabilise clear-water states in shallow lakes?
Inhibition of phytoplankton by allelochemicals released by submerged macrophytes is supposed to be one of the mechanisms that contribute to the stabilisation of clear-water states in shallow lakes. The relevance of this process at ecosystem level, however, is debated because in situ evidence is difficult to achieve. Our literature review indicates that allelopathically active species such as My...
متن کاملStudy on the mechanism of allelopathic influence on cyanobacteria and chlorophytes by submerged macrophyte (Myriophyllum spicatum) and its secretion.
For revealing the mechanism of allelopathic influence on phytoplankton by aquatic macrophytes, the growth and photosynthetic activities of cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and the chlorophyte Selenastrum capricornutum were investigated when they coexisted with submerged macrophyte Myriophyllum spicatum and were exposed to allelopathic polyphenols: pyrogallic acid (PA), gallic acid (GA), ell...
