Box 9E. 1 Continued FIGURE 2. The C–S–R triangle model (Grime 1979). The strategies at
the three corners are C, competiti-winning species; S, stress-tolerating s-cies; R …

Plant roots serve a multitude of functions in the plant including anchorage, provision of
nutrients and water, and production of exudates with growth regulatory properties. The root …

The impetus for developing analytical methods for phenolic compounds in natural products
has proved to be multifaceted. Hundreds of publications on the analysis of this category of …

The rhizosphere is a densely populated area in which plant roots must compete with
invading root systems of neighboring plants for space, water, and mineral nutrients, and with …

Plants produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites that are generally nonessential but
facilitate ecological interactions. Fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts can accumulate …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Allelopathic activity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has previously been associated with the
production of phenolic acids and flavonoids (PAF), benzoxazinones (BXZs) and …

Known since ancient times, the phenomenon of allelopathy has recently received greater
attention from researchers and farmers worldwide. Crop failures and low yields caused by …
