Rhizosphere-Scale Quantification of Hydraulic and Mechanical Properties of Soil Impacted by Root and Seed Exudates [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 Using rhizosphere-scale physical measurements, we tested the hypothesis that plant exudates gel together soil particles and, on drying, enhance soil water repellency. Barley ( L. cv. Optic) and maize ( L. cv. Freya) root exudates were compared with chia (

A glass bead semi-hydroponic system for intact maize root exudate analysis and phenotyping [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2022 Background Although there have been numerous studies describing plant growth systems for root exudate collection, a common limitation is that these systems require disruption of the plant root system to facilitate exudate collection.

Unraveling the secrets of plant roots: Simplified method for large scale root exudate sampling and analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]
Open Research Europe, 2023 Background Plants exude a plethora of compounds to communicate with their environment. Although much is known about above-ground plant communication, we are only beginning to fathom the complexities of below-ground chemical communication channels ...

Root exudate-derived compounds stimulate the phosphorus solubilizing ability of bacteria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Low phosphorus (P) availability in soils is a major challenge for sustainable food production, as most soil P is often unavailable for plant uptake and effective strategies to access this P are limited.

Antiherpetic Activity of a Root Exudate from Solanum lycopersicum [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe rise of drug resistance to antivirals poses a significant global concern for public health; therefore, there is a pressing need to identify novel compounds that can effectively counteract strains resistant to current antiviral treatments. In light of

Root exudate chemical cues of an invasive plant modulate oviposition behavior and survivorship of a malaria mosquito vector [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Gravid female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes identify suitable oviposition sites through a repertoire of cues, but the influence of allelochemicals, especially root phytochemicals in modulating this behavior and impacting subsequent progeny bionomics ...

Root exudate chemistry affects soil carbon mobilization via microbial community reassembly [PDF]
Fundamental Research, 2022 Plant roots are one of the major mediators that allocate carbon captured from the atmosphere to soils as rhizodeposits, including root exudates. Although rhizodeposition regulates both microbial activity and the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, the ...

Linking root exudates to functional plant traits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Primary and secondary metabolites exuded by plant roots have mainly been studied under laboratory conditions, while knowledge of root exudate patterns of plants growing in natural communities is very limited.
