abstract = {The discovery of new allelochemicals from plants and
microbes has attracted our attention in the last 20 years due to
their ecological implications as biocommunicators in nature and
to their potential use as a source of new structural types of
agrochemicals. Recent Advances in Aiieiopathyis a new triennial
scientific series which has been born with the aim of collecting
whatever can be considered relevant in the field of Allelopathy
research within a period of three years, considering every aspect
of this multidisciplinary science.
This first volume A Science for the Future presents a
selected number of chapters in which internationally renowned
experts discuss how a better understanding of allelochemical
phenomena can lead to natural applications. Ifwe know the way
thatplants madepossible theirinter- andintraspecific relationship
within a specific ecosystem, we can mimic certain processes and
think in applications as natural herbicides, antibiotics, fungicides,
natural insecticides, etc.
This book is divided into four sections: I) Methodology and
Techniques in Allelopathic Studies. II) Chemistry, Physiology and
MechanismofAllelopathic Processes. Ill) Allelopathic Interactions
in Nature. IV) Allelopathy in Weed and Plant Disease Control. It
presents an overview of the different fields involved in Allelopathy
in an integrated way.
We hope that this book will help, both those people that
read for the first time about Allelopathy and those that have been
working for a hard long time in the research and development of
Allelopathy, get enthusiastic about Allelopathy.},
