Abstract
Experiments tested the allelopathic effects of trans-cinnamic acid (tCnA), caflcic acid (CA), p-coumaric acid @CA), and femlic acid (FA) separately and in combination on pain sorghum. The data showed different levels for inhibitory effects among the four compounds, differential acnsitivity of plant processes, and more inhibition with combinations of these compounds. The most toxic compound at equimolar wncentrations was tCnA. Seed nermination. radicle elonnation. and seedling mwth had different threshojds for inhibition by the phenolic acids, w<<increaaing sensitivity of these plant processes in the order indicated. Concentrations of 0.1 mM FA, 0.1 mM CA, 0.1 mM pCA, and 0.04 mM tCnA were slightly below the threshold for inhibition of seedling growth. Synergistic inhibitory effects occurred when the phenolic acids were applied in combinations of two, three, and the four together. Such synergistic effecta are important in understanding allelopathy.
