The aim of this review is to summarise current knowledge on methods being used to
determine individual compounds and properties of water-soluble plant root exudates. These …

The composition of root‐derived substances is of great importance for the understanding of
processes in the rhizosphere. Therefore, methods allowing a comprehensive collection and …

The aim of this work is to review the current knowledge on the effects of plant metabolism
(C3, C4, and CAM) on root exudation and on the methods of exudate collection as well as …

Apart from the function of plant roots as organs for nutrient uptake, roots are also able to
release a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds into the root environment. Soil …

The release of low molecular weight (LMW) organic compounds (eg organic acids, amino
acids, sugars, etc.) by living plant roots significantly contributes to the development of …

Key message This article describes the composition of root exudates, how these metabolites
are released to the rhizosphere and their importance in the recruitment of beneficial …

Root exudate is one of the ways for plant communication to the neighboring plant and
adjoining of microorganisms present in the rhizosphere of the root. The chemicals …

Conclusions Although the quantities of organic compounds exuding from roots is not large,
seldom exceeding 0.4% of the carbon photosynthesized, they do exert a very strong …

Rhizodeposition of plants is the main carbon (C) and energy source in the rhizosphere and
is responsible for fast turnover, high diversity, and abundance of microorganisms in the …

Background Plant roots release a variety of organic compounds into the soil which alter the
physical, chemical and biological properties of the rhizosphere. Root exudates are …
