Allelopathy is newly emerging multidisciplinary field of agricultural research. A lot of allelopathy research work has been done in various fields of agriculture and plant sciences. However, standard methods are not being used by workers due to lack of a compendium on the techniques, and hence the results obtained are not easily comparable with each other. This causes problems to researchers working in underdeveloped/third world countries in small towns, where library and research facilities are not available. Therefore, to make available the standard methods for conducting allelopathy research work, this multi-volume book has been planned, with one volume each for each discipline. In all the conferences held since 1990’s a need has always been felt for a manual on allelopathy research methods. This book series aims to provide basic information about various methods to research workers, so that they can conduct research independently without the requirement of sophisticated equipments. The methods have been described in a simple way just like a DO IT YOURSELF book.
This book will serve as ready reference in the laboratory or class room and help to solve many problems of cell studies in agriculture and allied fields including allelopathy. Information provided can be use to determine the effects and mechanism of action of allelochemicals at the cellular levels. It will be useful for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing allelopathic work, plant physiologists, biochemists and other plant science specialists. We have tried to provide appropriate solutions to the problems of cell studies. The users of this book can select suitable methods, according to the available facilities.
