“…Smith and Fowden noted that mimosine and DHP inhibited the growth of mung bean seedlings. 12) We were also able to confirm that mimosine is responsible for the allelopathy of leucaena. [13][14][15] The potency of mimosine is much greater in inhibiting growth and development of first-instar larvae of Tribolium castaneum than fourth-instar larvae as expressed in the suppression of larval weight gain and retardation in pupation.…”

“…Esperava-se inibição do crescimento e desenvolvimento do milho causado pelo efeito tóxico da mimosina em plantas, conforme observações de vários autores (Smith & Fowden, 1966;Megarrity, 1978;Lowry et al, 1983Lowry et al, , 1985Wee & Wang, 1987;Adeneye, 1991). Entretanto, observou-se estímulo no desenvolvimento do milho, no tratamento em que se utilizou o EF concentrado (100%) (Tabela 1).…”

“…Budelman (1988) observou que a cobertura do solo com leucena apresenta propriedades de controle de plantas daninhas, e que esse efeito ocorre em razão da presença de aleloquímicos na planta. A leucena contém em seus tecidos um aminoácido não-protéico, o ácido β-[N-(3-hidroxi-4-oxopiridil)]-α-aminopropiônico (mimosina), muito tóxico para animais (Smith & Fowden, 1966). No entanto, enzimas presentes na planta podem degradar (autólise) rapidamente a mimosina para 3,4-diidroxipiridona (DHP), piruvato e amônia (Smith & Fowden, 1966;Megarrity, 1978;Lowry et al, 1983Lowry et al, , 1985Wee & Wang, 1987;Adeneye, 1991).…”
