Allelopathy is identified particularly with chemical activity between plants; entomologists refer to allelochemicals in a broader context. Recent work shows that several groups of compounds associated with allelopathy also play a part in communication between plants and other organisms. It is argued that such communication is part of the similarities in plant and animal responses to stress and may contribute to plant defense.
化感作用特别被认为是植物之间的化学活性；昆虫学家在更广泛的意义上提到化感物质。最近的研究表明，与化感作用相关的几组化合物也在植物与其他生物体之间的通讯中发挥作用。有人认为，这种通讯是植物和动物对压力反应相似性的一部分，可能有助于植物防御。
