Role of microbes in organic carbon decomposition and maintenance of soil ecosystem (2017, background): “Plant flowers exude energy-rich nectar above ground and plant roots exude acids, sugars, and ectoenzymes into the rhizosphere, adjusting the pH and feeding the food web underground [26-28].”
Biological Nitrification Inhibition—A Novel Strategy to Regulate Nitrification in Agricultural Systems (2012, positive): “These include molecules that belong to phenolic, alkaloid, fatty acid, isothiocyanate, and terpene groups (Bending and Lincoln, 2000; Bennett and Wallsgrove, 1994; Bertin et al., 2003; Choesin and Boerner, 1991; Flores et al., 1999; Gopalakrishnan et al., 2007; Kraus et al., 2003; Langenheim, 1994; ”
Drought effects on microbial biomass and enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of grasses depend on plant community composition (2011, background): “These compounds could play a major role in the maintenance of root–soil contact, which is especially important under drought conditions (Walker et al., 2003).”
Root-mediated allelopathic interference of nettle-leaved goosefoot (Chenopodium murale) on wheat (Triticum aestivum) (2007, background): “Root exudates comprise a variety of compounds including amino acids, organic acids, sugars, phenolics, and other secondary metabolites, and serve as an important medium of root-based interactions with other organisms (bacteria, actinomycetes, pathogens, fungi, and insects) in the soil (Walker et al.”
Impact of allelochemical exuded from allelopathic rice on soil microbial community (2008, background): “Through the exudation of a wide variety of compounds, roots may regulate the soil microbial community in their immediate vicinity, encourage beneficial symbioses, change the chemical and physical properties of the soil, and inhibit the growth of competing plant species (Limpens and Bisseling, 2003; ”
The role of intercropping maize ( Zea mays L.) and Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.) on yield and soil chemical properties (2010, background): “Res. that legumes accumulated greater amounts of soil microbial C in the soil than cereals (Walker et al., 2003).”
Managing the ecology of foliar pathogens: ecological tolerance in crops (2010, background): “Cultivars differ in their root exudate profiles (Walker et al., 2003) and similarly are likely to differ for all their other organs including the phyllosphere.”
Rice allelopathy and the possibility for weed management (2007, background): “The accumulation of chemicals at phytotoxic levels and their fate and persistence in soil are crucially important factors for allelochemical interference (Muller, 1970, 1974; Whittaker & Feeny, 1971; Williamson, 1990; Cheng, 1995; Bais et al., 2002, 2003a,b; Walker et al., 2003).”
The Interactions of Rhizodeposits with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria in the Rhizosphere: A Review (2019, background): “Root exudates serve as a messenger between roots and rhizobacteria in the rhizosphere [60].”
