By microbial action). For this reason, interactions with microorganisms are important in allelopathic problems involving this group of compounds (Blum, 2004). However, these perturbations also lead to alterations in ion balance, plant-water relationships, stomatal function, and rates of photosynthesis and respiration (Einhellig, 2004). 22 Basic pathways for the origin of allelopathic compounds Cinnamic acid is known to be autotoxic to plants of guayule, Parthenium argentatum (Seigler, 1998). Dihydrocinnamic acid inhibits seed germination and growth of a number of plants of the Florida scrub (Fischer et al.

Although the compounds involved are volatile, they may also be sufficiently water soluble, especially in the presence of ursolic acid, to be effective (Weidenhamer et al. 1993). The most effective toxins for Salvia leucophylla were α-pinene, β-pinene, and camphene. Those of Artemisia californica are 1,8-cineole and camphor.

The aglycones soyasapogenols B and E are capable of inducing haustorium formation in the parasitic plant Agalinus purpurea (Oleszek et al. 1999). Saponins based on soyasapogenols promote growth of wheat. These compounds are common in many plants of the Fabaceae: subfamily Papilionoideae. The most widely studied saponins for allelopathic interactions are those of alfalfa. The saponins of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) consist of at least 30 glycosides based on a variety of triterpenoid nuclei (Bialy et al.
