Book cover Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions III

Abstract

This chapter describes the source (input)-sink relationships, processes, mechanisms and causes and effects of phenolic acids such as ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and/or vanillic acid by means of a conceptual and hypothetical sub-models for a cucumber seedling-solution culture system.
