Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals

by Francisco A. Macias (Editor), Juan C.G. Galindo (Editor), Jose M. G. Molinillo (Editor)

Overview

Most, if not all, books on allelopathy cover the ecological, agronomic, and descriptive physiological aspects. And although the amount of papers published on the chemical aspects and mode of action of these compounds continues to rise, there has been, until now, no book available that reflects the latest literature. Written by experts, Allelopathy:

Editorial Reviews

"I found that new ideas for my ongoing research were triggered by the contents of the book. … [R]eaders will benefit greatly by applying many practical techniques and insights presented in this book … . Accordingly, I strongly recommend that scientists and graduate students worldwide, who are doing research on allelopathy, read the book. Finally, I would like to congratulate the editors for publishing such a valuable book. I believe that the book will catalyze more scientists to focus on the chemistry of allelopathy, and it will stimulate interdisciplinary scientists to join this research field."
