and stress responses. It has an essential role in multiple physiological processes of plants …

Worldwide, the effects of metal and metalloid toxicity are increasing, mainly due to
anthropogenic causes. Soil contamination ranks among the most important factors, since it …

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 …

Plant health in natural environments depends on interactions with complex and dynamic
communities comprising macro-and microorganisms. While many studies have provided …

Root exudates are an essential carrier for material cycling, energy exchange, and
information transfer between the belowground parts of plants and the soil. We synthesize …

Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, but its availability depends on
soil pH. Despite this abundance, Al is not considered an essential element and so far no …

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in world agriculture and for general vegetation
control in a wide range of situations. Global and often intensive glyphosate selection of very …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acid soils is a significant limitation to crop production worldwide, as
approximately 50% of the world's potentially arable soil is acidic. Because acid soils are …

Plant genomes are characterized by large and complex gene families that often result in
similar and partially overlap** functions. This genetic redundancy severely hampers …

The significance of root exudates as belowground defense substances has long been
underestimated, presumably due to being buried out of sight. Nevertheless, this chapter of …
