Implication

Experiments evaluate allelopathic effects and identify allelochemicals in invasive Mesosphaerum suaveolens, suggesting an eco-friendly weed management strategy.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the allelopathic potential of Mesosphaerum suaveolens and identify its allelochemicals for use as bioherbicides.
Conducted bioassays on weeds using extracts from Mesosphaerum suaveolens.
Evaluated the effects of different hexane-ethyl acetate fractions of the leaf extract.
Performed biochemical analyses on treated seeds to assess changes in various nutrient levels.
Used GC-MS for bioassay-guided identification of allelochemicals.
Conducted in-silico analysis to evaluate binding affinities of allelochemicals with specific proteins.
Hexane-ethyl acetate fractions exhibited maximum inhibition of weed germination.
Significant changes in biochemical contents, including reductions in carbohydrates and proteins in treated seeds.
Increased activity of antioxidant enzymes and changes in plant hormone levels due to allelochemical treatment.
Identification of major allelochemicals such as chlorogenic acid and caryophyllene oxide with promising binding profiles.
