O objetivo deste artigo foi realizar uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico acerca dos estudos desenvolvidos com representantes da família Fabaceae e destacar quais efeitos alelopáticos tais espécies desempenharam sobre outras plantas. Foram listadas 24 espécies de Fabaceae, sendo o gênero Anadenanthera o mais representativo neste artigo, com três espécies estudadas. A partir da análise dos arquivos, foi evidenciado que os representantes da família Fabaceae investigados apresentam em sua composição química substâncias responsáveis por gerar um efeito alelopático sobre outras espécies, caracterizando, dessa forma, uma função ecológica desses vegetais para a constituição dos ecossistemas em que se incluem. Além disso, tal característica pode despontar uma provável utilização desses seres no controle de plantas daninhas, que representam um grande problema para os agricultores. Também foram percebidos com maior frequência estudos voltados ao uso de bioensaios laboratoriais com o uso da espécie Lactuca sativa, noticiando a carência de estudos mais complexos sobre a ação dos aleloquímicos, quando lançados em condições naturais no ambiente.   Palavras-chave: Aleloquímicos. Germinação de Sementes. Leguminosae.   Abstract The objective of this paper was to perform a bibliographic research about the studies carried out with representatives of the Fabaceae family and stress out what  allelopathic effects such species develop on other plants. Twenty-four Fabaceae species were listed, being the Anadenanthera genus the most representative in this article, with three species studied. It was noticed in the studies analysis that certain Fabaceae species contain  in their chemical composition, substances responsible for an allelopathic effect on other species, characterizing an ecological role of these plants for the  ecosystems establishment. This feature can suggest the use of these species in weed control, which represent a problem to farmers. It was seen more often studies focused on the use of laboratory bioassays with Lactuca sativa, reporting the lack of more complex studies on the action of allelochemicals when launched in natural conditions in the environment. Keywords: Allelochemicals. Seed Germination. Leguminosae.

Background: Plant allelopathy refers to the release of chemicals from plants or microorganisms into the environment, may have direct or indirect, beneficial or harmful effects on other plants or microorganisms. When plants grow in an unfavorable environment,more allelochemicals will be secreted and the expression of allelopathic effects will increase, giving plants a certain competitive advantage. Hairy vetch is one of the most promising allelopathic crops and the aqueous extract of hairy vetch has an inhibitory effect on the root length and seedling height of grass crops. The current study aimed to study the allelopathic effect of hairy vetch on alfalfa, and exploring an ecological method to remove the root system of alfalfa.Methods: In this experiment, the allelopathic effects of the seeds, stems and leaves, roots extracts and root exudates (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 mg·mL-1) on the seed germination and seedling growth of alfalfa were evaluated. And the main allelopathic substances from the stem and leaf extract were isolated and identified using high performance liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS).Result: The results showed that all of the extracts can inhibit alfalfa seed germination and seedling growth and stem and leaf extract had the strongest inhibitory effect, especially for inhibiting the root growth. A main allelochemical substance, o-coumaric acid, was screened out and the root length of alfalfa was completely inhibited at 1.6 mg·mL-1 of o-coumaric acid. The findings of these experiments show hairy vetch has strong allelopathic effect on alfalfa and o-coumaric acid is a chemical growth inhibitor.

Vernonia zeylanica (L.) belongs to the family Asteraceae, is one of the major endemic weed species present in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) plantations of the tropics, which propagates very easily.  There is a possibility that this plant could also possess allelopathic effects, but this has not been scientifically tested.  Thus, a study was carried out to determine the seed germination of V. zeylanica under soil moisture stress conditions, shoot propagation methods and possible allopathic effects of this species, on selected species in bioassay tests.  Germination of V. zeylanica seeds was not observed at higher osmotic potential (-0.9 MPa).  The highest sprouting percentage of this species were obtained with soft wood cuttings.  The aqueous leaf extract was highly phytotoxic, and it significantly reduced germination and seedling growth of all bioassay species tested. Full strength (33.3 g L-1) aqueous extracts of leaves significantly reduced the germination percentage, root and hypocotyl growth rates of all species tested.  The inhibitory effects were often dependent on concentration.  However, the degree of inhibition varied among the test plant species.  The seedling emergences of all four tested plants were severally inhibited when planted in V. zeylanica contaminated soil.  The results indicated that incorporated aqueous leaf extract of V. zeylanica and its rhizosphere contaminated soil can suppress seed germination, seedling growth and seedling emergence of certain plant species indicating a possible allelopathic effect.

Allelopathic effects of aqueous extract of different plant parts (root, stem and leaf) of Artemisia dubia on seed germination and seedling growth of two winter crops (Triticum aestivum and Brassica campestries, and some associated weeds (Bidens pilosa, Ageratum conyzoides, Galinsoga parviflora and Cyperus rotundus) have been investigated in the present study. Extracts of root, stem and leaves of Artemisia dubia showed significant reduction in germination and seedling growth of test crops and weeds. Germination of crop and weed seeds and growth of shoot and root were reduced significantly in test treatments in comparison to the control. The seed germination, shoot length and root length were low at higher concentration. Complete inhibition of seed germination of Ageratum conyzoides, Galinsoga parviflora and Cyperus rotundus at 5 and 10% leaf extract of A.dubia was observed. Allelopathic effects were more pronounced with leaf extract than root or stem extract in most cases.The result indicated difference in allelopathic effect on crop seed and weed seed at higher concentrations.

Allelopathy is generally defined as any direct or indirect harmful or beneficial effect of one plant on another mediated by the production allelochemicals. The scope of this study was the evaluation of the potential allelopathic effect of Jasminum officinale against some weed species.  The effects of extracts obtained from root, stem and leaves of J. officinale, were evaluated against ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), ryegrass (Lolium perenne), and Johnsonn grass (Sorghum halepense). The aqueous leachates of jasmine demonstrated promising allelopathic potential by inhibiting seed germination and radicle elongation of all tested species. The more profound research in the field of allelopathy will eventually lead to the development of bioproducts designed for pest or weed control using allelochemicals.
