Heterotelergones a.k.a. (allelochemics) are a class of biologically synthesised chemicals (includes pheromones, venom, and phytoncides) which entice, repel, immobilize, or alter tissues.
Commonly used by terrestrial plants as a form of defence against insect herbivores, and by aquatic plants as a form of defence against algae.
