I did a quick google search and saw a blurb from some guy who noted that 
the juglone seems to not affect native species, and strongly affects the 
nightshade family.  Your own results with the apple, tomatoes, and basil 
seems to fit that model, but you probably already read that.
I gotta go for now, will try to check back in tomorrow..
