Root exudation is one of the primary processes that mediate interactions between plant
roots, microorganisms, and the soil matrix, yet the mechanisms by which exudation alters …

Like all higher organisms, plants have evolved in the context of a microbial world, shaping
both their evolution and their contemporary ecology. Interactions between plant roots and …

Certain soil microorganisms can improve plant growth, and practices that encourage their
proliferation around the roots can boost production and reduce reliance on agrochemicals …

Plant roots release exudates that fuel microbial activities and can structure rhizosphere
microbial communities, but how different plant species use their root exudate to potentially …

Higher plant diversity is often associated with higher soil microbial biomass and diversity,
which is assumed to be partly due to elevated root exudate diversity. However, there is little …

Root exudates play an essential role in helping plants to cope with abiotic stress. However,
the modulation of root exudation profiles under multiple stress conditions is still poorly …

Rhizosphere microorganisms are critical for crop nutrient cycling and soil ecological
functions in agroecosystem soils; however, there is limited information regarding the role of …

Background Rhizodeposits regulate rhizosphere interactions, processes, nutrient and
energy flow, and plant-microbe communication and thus play a vital role in maintaining soil …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

Plants nourish rhizospheric microbes via provision of carbon substrates, and the
composition of the microbiome is strongly influenced by metabolic phenomena such as …
