Allelopathy (Molish 1937)
• A type of interference among higher plants, where products of secondary metabolism inhibit (less promote) the development of neighbourhood plant
• Earlier only plant-plant, today plant-microorganism interactions
• It is considered as a new alternative way for biological control
Plant viruses make up about 15-30% out of the whole plant diseasesVirus particles create close biologial unit with the plant cellChemical plant protection against viruses is unsuccesfull in vivoSome natural substances are known to inhibit replication and cell- to cell movement of viruses and reduce virus concentration
Mode of action
• It is not yet known exactly, but it can be presumed that natural inhibitors may modify special receptor places on the plant cell surface, therefore adhesion of virus particles can not be happened
The aim of the study
• To examine the effect of allelopathic weed extracts on some host-virus relations
Fresh plant parts were collected and grinding
Asclepias syriaca
Abutilon theophrasti
Cirsium arvense
DONOR SPECIES
Convolvulus arvensisChelidonium majus
• Plant water extracts were made using 25 g fress biomass/100 ml distilled water
• Extracts were used to spray daily test plants from their 2-4 leaf stages until the end of experiments
• Virus infection (DAS ELISA) From the extinction values we can conclude
from the virus concentration; samples are considered resistant to virus infection: if extinction values do not exceed two times those of the negative control
• Fresh weight(five weeks after inoculations)

Conclusions
• Sprayed plant extracts did not inhibit virus infection • Allelopathic plant extracts have different effect on
the development and virus concentration in hosts• One exception was in case of C. majus root extracts,
which reduced significantly not only AMV concentration but also fresh weight of C. amaranticolor
• It seems that there is no relation between allelopathic inhibitory effect of weeds on the development of test plants and virus inhibitory effect in the hosts
