Abstract Allelopathic plants release secondary compounds into the soil that then suppress growth of nearby plants. Allelopathy has been shown for invasive Japanese knotweed ( Fallopia japonica ) and Bohemian F . × bohemica ). The aggressive dominant invaders represent a serious threat to local plant communities outside their native range. Here, we analysed phenols in rhizomes using nuclear magn...

Soybean seedlings were used as the test species to investigate the effect of phydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA) on growth and plant-water relationships. Plants were grown in nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions and were subjected to pHBA through amendments to the growth medium. Treatments were initiated 10 days after germination and continued for either 14 or 28 days with stomatal conductance...
