The use of plant allelopathy for inhibiting harmful algae, with the advantages of high efficiency and sensitivity to algae controlling and ecological security to aquatic organisms, will play a significant role on ecological control of water eutrophication. The advance research on allelopathy effects of plants for inhibiting harmful algae was introduced, in which the mechanisms of algal-inhibition were analyzed from as-pects of photosynthesis, enzyme activities, cell mem brane, cell ultrastructure, gene expression. And the effect of allelochemical extracting from the aquatic plants and terrestr...
