Resumen:
Allelopathy is a new field of science, as the term ´Allelopathy´ was coined in 1937. However, researchers are not using the standard methods due to lack of compendium on the Techniques, hence, the results obtained are not easily comparable with each others. Current research on allelopathy emphasizes not only on PlantPlant Interactions but also interactions involving the PlantMicroorganisms and PlantPhytophagous organisms. These concerns require reliable protocols for such studies, which sometimes are not available worldwide. Hence, this book has been written to provide information about all aspects of plant bioassays. The Book is divided in 4 Sections. Section I. PlantPlant Interactions, includes 5 chapters (Laboratory Assays in Allelopathy, Pollen Allelopathy, assays for Allelopathic Interactions among Terrestrial Plants,Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis in Allelopathic Interactions,Comet Assay in Higher Plants). Section II. PlantMicroorganism Interactions, has 5 chapters (Biochemical Aspects of Plantpathogen Interactions, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria, Hypersensitive response, PlantVirus interactions, Search for antiphytopathogenic compounds involved in plant defence). Section III. PlantPhytophagous Interactions, consists of 2 chapters (Search for phytochemicals to control plantinsect interactions and Bioassays on plant nematode interactions). Section IV. Appendices (Abbreviations, Chemical formulae and molecular weight of solvents and reagents, Molecular weight of organic compounds).We hope that protocols and criteria provided will be helpful to students, researchers and teachers for Laboratory/Greenhouse/Field Research and Practical Classes, to solve many problems of plant bioassays. It will be useful for UG and PG students pursing allelopathic research in laboratory, greenhouse and field studies and to Biologists and Ecologists. The users of this book can select suitable methods, according to the available facilities.
