Question
Like autotoxicity, the accumulation of this phenomenon’s remnants contributes to “replant disease,” or the inability of new plants like apples to establish themselves in soil formerly inhabited by a related species. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this condition, classically exemplified by the black walnut tree, in which a plant’s roots or leaf litter release biotoxins like juglone to inhibit the growth and reproductive potential of a competing organism.
ANSWER: negative allelopathy [prompt on amensalism]
[10m] Toxic allelochemicals can be released into the soil through the decay of leaf litter into humus in this horizon, which surmounts the A horizon.
ANSWER: O horizon [prompt on topsoil]
[10e] This crop’s production of momilactone B underlies its potential use as a weed-killing allelopathic agent. A “golden” GMO strain of this crop gets its color from beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A.
ANSWER: rice
