Abstract:Watermelon〔Citrullus lanatus(Thunb.)Matsum. et Nakai〕allelopathy was studied by bioassay method,and allelochemical in root,stem-leaf and root exudates were detected by GC-MS.The results showed that watermelon seed germination and seedling growth were promoted at 2.5 g?L-1 concentration of the root and stem-leaf aqueous extracts,while they were restrained under condition of their 5.0 g?L-1 concentration.The inhibiting effect became stronger with the increasing of concentrations.The inhibiting effect of stem-leaf was more than that of root at the same concentration.The root exudates promoted the seed germination and seedling growth at 2.5 μL?L-1.It began to restrain the seed germination and seedling growth at the point of 5.0 μL?L-1.32 chemicals were detected from root,stem-leaf and root exudates,of which 14 were esters chemicals.There were 14 in root,19 in stem-leaf,and 22 in root exudates,some of these chemicals which were previously reported were allelochemicals.The results revealed that there were obvious differences in different tissues of watermelon,so allelopathy was different.
