The role of root exudates in rhizosphere interactions with plants and other organisms. (2006, background): “In addition to accumulating biologically active chemicals, plant roots continuously produce and secrete compounds into the rhizosphere (13, 60).”
Rhizodeposition of organic C by plants: mechanisms and controls (2003, background): “On the other hand, plant roots are “chemical factories” that synthesize a wide variety of secondary metabolites [3], which are biologically active and which might orient the dynamics of microbial communities.”
Breeding crops for reduced-tillage management in the intensive, rice–wheat systems of South Asia (2006, background): “Soil factors The roots are the first and most important organ that nourishes the plant, but has been neglected by many plant breeders (Bais et al. 2001; Manske et al. 2001).”
Rhizosphere engineering: Enhancing sustainable plant ecosystem productivity (2017, unknown): “Root exudates facilitate rhizosphere interactions by serving as energy sources for microorganisms and acting as chemical attractants and repellents (Bais et al., 2001; Estabrook and Yoder, 1998).”
