Article Synopsis
- Plant roots secrete metabolites that influence the microbiome in the rhizosphere, which is essential for plant health, particularly with regard to specialized metabolites like isoflavones in legumes.
- Isoflavones play a key role in establishing beneficial relationships with soil microorganisms, but the mechanisms behind these interactions are not fully understood.
- Researchers identified a specific gene cluster from a bacteria strain that degrades isoflavones, revealing a unique oxidative catabolism process and suggesting its role in the detoxification of isoflavones in legume plants, shedding light on the complex interactions in the legume rhizosphere.
