Soluble factors released from roots of the pre-mycorrhizal infection (pmi) myc(-) tomato mutant M161 were analyzed and compared with normal wild-type released factors. Aseptic whole exudates from the M161 mutant retarded the proliferation of Glomus intraradices in vitro. When the whole exudate was further fractionated on a C18 SEPAK cartridge, the 50/70% methanol fraction showed an activity against hyphal tip growth of Gigaspora gigantea and Gl. intraradices. Preliminary characterization of the exudate suggests that the inhibitory moieties are heat labile, bind to PVPP (polyvinyl polypyrrolidone), and are not volatile. This is the first reported instance of the inhibition by a myc(-) plant being ascribed to inhibitory component(s) released in root exudate.

Background: Legumes, in the initial event of symbiosis, secrete flavonoids into the rhizosphere to attract rhizobia. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between crop root exudates and soybean nodule development under intercropping patterns.
Method: A two years field experiments was carried out and combined with pot experiments to quantify the effects of planting mode, i.

Elevated CO (eCO) stimulates productivity and nutrient demand of crops. Thus, comprehensively understanding the crop phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is critical for sustaining agriculture to combat climate changes. Here, wheat ( L) was planted in field in the eCO (550 µmol mol) and ambient CO (aCO, 415 µmol mol) environments.

Mangrove forests are increasingly recognized as vital blue carbon ecosystems due to their high carbon sequestration capacity, primarily through the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC). Recent research highlights that, in addition to SOC, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), particularly in the form of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), plays a crucial role in carbon sequestration by being exported from these ecosystems to adjacent coastal waters. This study aims to investigate the previously unexamined mechanisms behind bicarbonate production in mangrove soils.

Beneficial interactions between plant root exudates and the rhizosphere microbial community can alleviate the adverse effects of environmental stress on crop yields, but these interactions remain poorly understood in potato growing in drying soil. We investigated the responses of rhizosphere soil microorganisms and metabolites, and biochemical and physiological responses of two potato genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance (drought tolerant 'C93' and drought sensitive 'Favorita'), to two different irrigation treatments imposing contrasting soil water availability in the field. Deficit irrigation altered rhizosphere soil bacterial communities and metabolites of C93 more than Favorita.

Considerable biological decline of continuously cropped alfalfa may be tightly linked to rhizosphere metabolism. However, plant-soil feedbacks and age-related metabolic changes in alfalfa stands remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to identify the linkages of rhizosphere and root metabolites, particularly autotoxins and prebiotics, to alfalfa decline under continuous cropping.
