RT journal article T1 Evidence for an Allelopathic Interaction Between Rye and Wild Oats A1 Oliveros-Bastidas, Alberto A1 Marín, David A1 Chinchilla Salcedo, Nuria A1 Castellano, Diego A1 Macías Domínguez, Francisco Antonio A1 González Molinillo, José María A2 Química Orgánica K1 Allelopathy K1 Interactions K1 phytotoxic K1 benzoxazinones K1 gramineae AB Allelopathy is a biological phenomenon in which an organism produces one or more biochemicals that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of other organisms. Allelopathy has been the subject of a great deal of research in chemical ecology since the 1930s. The characterization of the factors that influence this phenomenon has barely been explored, mainly due to the complexity of this area. The main aim of the research carried out to date has been to shed light on the importance of these interactions in agroecosystems, especially in relation to the interactions between crops and weeds. Herein we report the characterization of a complete allelochemical pathway involving benzoxazinones, which are known to participate in allelopathic plant defense interactions of several plants of high agronomic interest. The production of the defense chemicals by a donor plant (crop), the route and transformations of the chemicals released into the environment, and the uptake and phytotoxic effects on a target plant (weed) were all monitored. The results of this study, which is the first of its kind, allowed a complete dynamic characterization of the allelopathic phenomenon for benzoxazinones.
