Effects of the allelochemical coumarin on plants and soil microbial community
E. Niro,Rossana Marzaioli,S. De Crescenzo,Brigida D'Abrosca,Simona Castaldi,Assunta Esposito,Antonio Fiorentino,Flora Angela Rutigliano +7 more
TL;DR: Comparison with data from the literature reveals that responses to coumarin by plants and microorganisms in natural systems may significantly diverge from behaviours observed in vitro, probably reflecting multifaceted interactions of biotic and abiotic components.
