“…Flavonoid allelochemicals include chalcones, dihydrochalcones, dihydroflavonols, isoflavonols, flavonols and flavanones (Iwashima, 2003). Flavonoids, including naringenin, are found in the soils in concentrations varying from 0.01 to 0.1 mM (Macias, 1995). Although flavonoids are frequently implicated in allelopathic reactions (Levizou et al, 2004;Weir et al, 2004;Taylor and Grotewold, 2005), their roles and mode of action is not fully understood.…”
