๐ŸŒฑ Research Focus:

Kmar Mโ€™Barek’s research primarily revolves around allelopathy, studying the interactions between plants and their biochemical compounds. ๐ŸŒฑ Her work investigates the impact of allelochemicals from Juniperus phoenicea L. needles on the germination and growth of agricultural crops, as published in the South African Journal of Botany (164: 100-110). She delves into the mode of action of allelochemicals from Cupressaceae species on lettuce, detailed in Scientia Horticulturae (252: 29-37). Additionally, her research explores the allelopathic effects of Tetraclinis articulata on barley, lettuce, radish, and tomato (Allelopathy Journal; 43 (2): 187-202) and investigates the chemical composition and phytotoxicity of Cupressus sempervirens leaves against crops (Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plant; 19:7, 1582-1599). ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ #AllelopathyResearch #PlantInteractions #BotanicalStudies
