General and specific mechanisms of biochemical interactions between plants

There exist two main mechanisms of allelopathy: 1) direct transfer of metabolites between neighbouring plants during their life and 2) accumulation and transformation of bioactive substances in the environment with their subsequent influence on higher plants. The latter mechanism is similar to that causing soil sickness or soil toxicity. Allelochemicals affect all functions of the living system: photosynthesis, respiration, mineral nutrition, transpiration, immunity, and growth. The initial biochemical effect of allelochemicals seems to be on the synthesis of protein mediated by RNA/DNA. Knowledge of the mechanisms of concrete signals during realization of hereditary codes would serve as a powerful tool for the improvement of crop plant development and productivity.
