Mathematical modeling of allelopathy: Biological response to allelochemicals and its interpretation
Abstract
Allelochemicals are assumed to possess specific biological properties and responses of an organism are external expressions of such properties. Based on this assumption, a mathematical model has been constructed to interpret the characteristic responses of an organism to allelochemicals. Several sets of experimental data have been compared with the model predictions; good agreement between the model and data is observed.
