The rhizosphere encompasses the millimeters of soil surrounding a plant root where complex biological and ecological processes occur. This review describes recent advances in elucidating the role of root exudates in interactions between plant roots and other plants, microbes, and nematodes present in the rhizosphere. Evidence indicating that root exudates may take part in the signaling events that initiate the execution of these interactions is also presented. Various positive and negative…

Role of root exudates in plant-microbe interactions

The differences in root exudates induced by microbial associations, role of quorum sensing in structuring communitites and effect on biogeochemical cycles are reviewed and the focus is put on agricultural systems and implications for ecosystems on arable land are drawn.

Regulation and function of root exudates.

This review focuses on compiling the information available on the regulation and mechanisms of root exudation processes, and provides some ideas related to the evolutionary role ofRoot exudates in shaping soil microbial communities.

Rhizosphere interactions: root exudates, microbes, and microbial communities1

Recent progress made in unraveling the interactions between plants and rhizosphere microbes through plant root exudates is summarized, focusing on howroot exudate compounds mediate rhizospheric interactions both at the plant–microbe and plant-microbiome levels.

Plant Root Secretions and Their Interactions with Neighbors

The combination of techniques and the continuous development of new techniques in the field of rhizosphere biology coupled with systems approach will allow to elucidate these complex interactions under field conditions to improve the plant growth at species and community level.

Root Exudates Dominate the Colonization of Pathogen and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria

This chapter summarized the recent data referred to the root exudates and rhizosphere, especially the interaction between plant and soil microbes and also raised several aspects which are still limitedly known.

The role of root exudates and allelochemicals in the rhizosphere

Recent research onRoot exudation and the role of allelochemicals in the rhizosphere is outlined by studying the case of three plants that have been shown to produce allelopathic root exudates: black walnut, wheat and sorghum.

Soil nematodes mediate positive interactions between legume plants and rhizobium bacteria

It is argued that other organisms, such as the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, also mediate the interaction between roots and rhizobia in a positive way, leading to nodulation, a biologically-relevant and largely unknown interaction in the rhizosphere that is multitrophic and may control the initiation of the symbiosis.

Root-specific metabolism: The biology and biochemistry of underground organs

Recent progress in growing roots in isolation with other elements of the rhizosphere has greatly facilitated the study of root-specific metabolism and contributed to the understanding of this organ.

Plant and mycorrhizal regulation of rhizodeposition.

Evidence is brought together to show that roots can directly regulate most aspects of rhizosphere C flow either by regulating the exudation process itself or by directly regulating the recapture of exudates from soil.
