'''Heterotelergones''' (also known as allelochemics) are a class of biologically synthesised chemicals (includes [[pheromone]]s, [[venom (poison)|venom]], and [[phytoncide]]s) 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]]{{Fact|date=February 2007}}.
