| Abstract/Contents: | "Allelopathy is a term used to describe a chemical interaction among plants. It is often referred to as the detrimental effects of higher plants of one species (the donor) on the germination, growth, or development of plants of another (receptor) species. The detrimental effect is exerted through release of a chemical by the donor. Several chemical groups including phenolic acids, flavonoids, quinones, terpenoids, steroids, purines, long-chain fatty acids and acetylenes, organic acids, unsaturated lactones, and others have been classified. Although the specific chemicals involved in allelopathy remain obscure, they have an important role in crop production and crop protection. To determine the chemical specificity for allelopathy, identification of the causative agents is required. Based on preliminary studies, allelopathic compounds exist in grain that inhibit the establishment of a variety of plant species by limiting root formation during germination. It will be environmentally and economically desirable to exploit the phenomenon of allelopathy in grain products as potential alternatives to conventional herbicides. If the purification method of extracting the allelopathic compounds can be established, it could potentially be marketed as a naturally-occurring, environmentally-safe-herbicide. The purposes of the study underway at Iowa State University are to evaluate the phytotoxicity of various grain by-products, to extract and purify the allelopathic compound(s) from the selected grain products, and to identify the chemical structure(s) of the allelopathic compound(s)." |
