Allelopathic effects of Lantana camara Linn. on spore germination of Asterella angusta Steph.--a liverwort

Indian J Exp Biol. 2001 Nov;39(11):1194-8.

Abstract

Extract from root, stem and leaf of L. camara proved inhibitory for germination of the spores of A. angusta. Leaf extract was found to exhibit maximum allelopathic potentiality followed by stem and root extract and may be interpreted to be the result of phytotoxic substances which are possibly synthesized in the leaf and translocated to other organs.
