Multiple analysis of root exudates and microbiome in rice (Oryza sativa) under low P conditions.

Plants release various metabolites from roots and root exudates contribute to differences in stress tolerance among plant species. Plant and soil microbes have complex interactions that are affected by biotic and abiotic factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in metabolites in root exudates of rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars and their correlation with bacterial populations in the rhizosphere.
