interference of allelopathic rice with paddy weeds at the root level.	despite increasing knowledge of the involvement of allelopathy in negative interactions among plants, relatively little is known about its action at the root level. this study aims to enhance understanding of interactions of roots between a crop and associated weeds via allelopathy. based on a series of experiments with window rhizoboxes and root segregation methods, we examined root placement patterns and root interactions between allelopathic rice and major paddy weeds cyperus difformis, echin ...	2017	28218979
differences in photosynthetic responses of nadp-me type c4 species to high light.	three species chosen as representatives of nadp-me c4 subtype exhibit different sensitivity toward photoinhibition, and great photochemical differences were found to exist between the species. these characteristics might be due to the imbalance in the excitation energy between the photosystems present in m and bs cells, and also due to that between species caused by the penetration of light inside the leaves. such regulation in the distribution of light intensity between m and bs cells shows tha ...	2017	27990574
asparagus decline: autotoxicity and autotoxic compounds in asparagus rhizomes.	asparagus (asparagus officinalis l.) is a perennial vegetable, but its crop productivity and quality decrease gradually. one possible reason for "asparagus decline" is thought to be the autotoxicity of asparagus. however, the autotoxic property of asparagus rhizomes remains unknown. the objective of this study was to determine the potential role of rhizomes in the autotoxicity of asparagus. an aqueous methanol extract of asparagus rhizomes inhibited the growth of asparagus seedlings and six othe ...	2017	28314158
