Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play many roles including defense against pathogens,
pests, and herbivores; response to environmental stresses, and mediating organismal …

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 …

Root exudates are plant-derived, exported metabolites likely sha** root-associated
microbiomes by acting as nutrients and signals. However, root exudation dynamics are …

Plants in their natural ecosystems interact with numerous microorganisms, but how they
influence their microbiota is still elusive. We observed that sulfatase activity in soil, which …

Plants serve as rich repositories of diverse chemical compounds collectively referred to as
specialized metabolites. These compounds are of importance for adaptive processes …

Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are rhizosphere-inhabiting
eco-friendly bacteria that indirectly/directly enhance plant growth and development and are …

The last decade brought great progress in describing the repertoire of microbes associated
with plants and identifying principles of their interactions. Metabolites exuded by plant roots …

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

Advances in high throughput omics techniques provide avenues to decipher plant
microbiomes. However, there is limited information on how integrated informatics can help …

Primary and secondary metabolites exuded from roots are key drivers of root-soil microbe
interactions that contribute to the structure and function of microbial communities. Studies …
