A particular form of amensalism found in plants. In this interaction, one species produces and releases of chemical substances that inhibit the growth of another species.

A biological occurrence in which one organisms releases chemicals or hormones that inhibit the growth, survival, and reproduction of other organisms. For example, black walnut trees have been known to inhibit the growth of many plants in their understory, and decomposing ryegrass will inhibit the germination of certain brassica seeds.

The excretion by some plants of compounds from their leaves and/or roots that inhibit the growth of other plants.

the metabolic impact of one plant on another, whether beneficial or harmful. Example: eucalyptus tree toxins that inhibit the growth of certain plants.

The ability of a plant species to produce substances that are toxic to certain other plants.

Biochemical production by a plant which alters growth and survival of other plants or itself. © 2010 by Nature Education Knowledge.

The release of chemicals by certain plants that inhibit the growth of competing plants. allergens

  The phenomenon by which the secretion of chemicals, such as phenolic and terpenoid compounds, by a plant inhibits the growth or reproduction of other plant species with which it is competing.

(Gk: allel= one another; pathos= suffering) the chemical inhibition of growth in one organism by another.

The negative influence of a plant, other than a microorganism, upon another plant, through chemical exudate during their metabolism. Allélopathie

An effect whereby one plant chemically discourages growth of others in its environment, e.g. by toxins contained in fallen leaves or chemicals released by plant roots.

When one plant releases chemicals which cause certain other plants around it to grow slowly.

<cell biology> The deleterious interaction between two organisms or cell types that are allogeneic to each other (the term is often applied loosely to interactions between xenogeneic organisms). Allelopathy is seen between different species of plant, between various individual sponges and between sponges and gorgonians. This entry appears wit [..]
