Metabolomics studies of allelopathy: a review

Introduction: Allelopathy is a harmful effect indirectly or directly produced by one plant to another through the production of chemical substances that enter environment. has pertinent significance for systems ecological, sustainable, and integrated management. These natural reactions have multiple effects, ranging from processes inhibition stimulation growth in neighbor plants seed germination. Metabolomics discipline integral studies all metabolites particular tissue, organ, organism specific developmental stage under environmental conditions, it allows assessment contribution genetic factors modification metabolism. With growing number “omics”, new approaches can be used understand metabolic changes occur plants, especially proteomics metabolomics, thus those analyses could profiled coming years with objective knowing allelopathome larger species their interactions. Aim: To provide recent update on science allelopathy context physiology, practical application metabolomics allelopathic studies, allelochemicals analyzed alfalfa, rice, canola, sorghum, rye, wheat other crops finally mentionated biological activity secondary metabolites. Methods: A comprehensive literature search journal databases was carried out. Results: The concept allelopathy, mechanisms, metabolomic analysed rye agro-industrially important crops, are detailed. Conclusions: suggest combination attack weeds. In situ vitro culture (allelochemical types) recommended as organics compounds weed organic control future.
