Prediction and evaluation of allelopathic plants species in Algerian Saharan ecosystem

Does Salt Stress Intensify the Allelopathic Effect of Four Asteraceae Invasive Plants?

“…More importantly, the Seger-Segro processes of L. sativa are highly sensitive to external environmental stresses, including the allelopathy of invasive plants. Therefore, L. sativa has been widely used as a test plant to study the allelopathy of invasive plants in recent years (Bouafiane et al 2021, Girotto et al 2021, Lee et al 2021, Zhong et al 2023b).…”

Specialized Metabolites from the Allelopathic Plant Retama raetam as Potential Biopesticides

“…This study was carried out in the Souf region and is located in the north-east of Algerian Sahara, between 33° and 34° north latitude, and 6° and 8° longitude. Sea level = 40 m [ 32 ]. The plant material was then carefully rinsed with distilled water to remove dust particles and dried in the air for a few days at room temperature; finally, it was ground in a blender.…”

“…Moreover, the plant studied was collected in the Souf region located in the north-east of the Algerian Saharan desert, an extremely arid zone of great importance among medicinal plants [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Recently, researchers have highlighted the effectiveness of aqueous extracts of some Saharan plant species, including R. raetam, on seed germination or seedling growth of target species [ 32 ]. This result suggests that the plant can be a source of allelochemicals able to inhibit the radicle growth of parasitic weeds [ 15 ].…”
