Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil
environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it …

A wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect plant's growth and production.
Under stress, one of the main responses of plants is the modulation of exudates excreted in …

Accurate information about the quantity, quality and spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolite
release from plant roots is vital to understanding the functional significance of root exudates …

Background To improve plant phosphorus (P)-acquisition efficiency to secure sustainable
food production, an important step is to increase the concentration of plant-available P in the …

Plants are faced with various biotic and abiotic stresses during their life cycle. To withstand
these stresses, plants have evolved adaptive strategies including the production of a wide …

The rhizosphere, the small soil volume that surrounds and is influenced by plant roots, is
one of the most dynamic biological interfaces on Earth. Enzymes, produced by both roots …

Background The release of organic acids (OAs) is considered the main mechanism used by
phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to dissolve inorganic phosphate in soil. Nevertheless …

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 …

Aims Root exudates are known to shape microbial activities in the rhizosphere and to be of
fundamental importance for plant-soil-microbe-carbon–nitrogen interactions. However, it …

Phytoremediation of arsenic (As)-contaminated soil by hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata is
promising. A better understanding of the rhizosphere microbial dynamics that regulate As …
