Many cereals accumulate hydroxamic acids derived from 2-hydroxy-2 H-1, 4-benzoxazin-3
(4 H)-one. These benzoxazinoid hydroxamic acids are involved in defense of maize against …

Studies of allelopathy in terrestrial systems have experienced tremendous growth as interest
has risen in describing biochemical mechanisms responsible for structuring plant …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

Recent advances in the application of heterogeneous catalysis combined with microwave
irradiation in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds are reviewed. While a detailed …

Fusarium species are among the most studied plant-pathogenic fungi, with several species
causing diseases on maize, wheat, barley, and other food and feed grains. Decreased yield …

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

The capability of synthetic pesticides to manage weeds, insect pests and pathogens in crops
has diminished due to evolved resistance. Sustainable management is thus becoming more …

Allelopathy, a biological phenomenon involving the production and release of secondary
metabolites known as allelochemicals, plays a critical role in plant interactions and …

Progress in understanding allelopathic interactions among plants has long been hampered
by the complexity of the many direct and indirect interactions involved. Plant processes and …

Fusarium verticillioides is a very important genus from the aspects of plant disease, cereal
production, and food safety. A major concern of this species is its mycotoxins, which are …
