Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil
environment. Recently, root-exuded coumarins were identified as novel players in plant …

Plants benefit from associations with a diverse community of root-colonizing microbes.
Deciphering the mechanisms underpinning these beneficial services are of interest for …

The factors that contribute to the composition of the root microbiome and, in turn, affect plant
fitness are not well understood. Recent work has highlighted a major contribution of the soil …

Plants generate a wide variety of organic components during their different growth phases.
The majority of those compounds have been classified as primary and secondary …

Plant roots nurture a tremendous diversity of microbes via exudation of photosynthetically
fixed carbon sources. In turn, probiotic members of the root microbiome promote plant …

Plant-microbe interactions dynamically affect plant growth, health, and development. The
mechanisms underpinning these associations are—to a large extent—mediated by …

Chemical exchange often serves as the first step in plant–microbe interactions and
exchanges of various signals, nutrients, and metabolites continue throughout the interaction …

Terrestrial plants can affect the growth and health of adjacent plants via interspecific
interaction. Here, we studied the mechanism by which plant root exudates affect the …

One of the major questions in contemporary plant science involves determining the
functional mechanisms that plants use to shape their microbiome. Plants produce a plethora …

Coumarins are a family of plant-derived secondary metabolites that are produced via the
phenylpropanoid pathway. In the past decade, coumarins have emerged as iron-mobilizing …
