AI Article Synopsis
- * The efficiency of nitrogen use in agriculture is decreasing, which is a significant issue for ecosystems, as the nitrogen cycle in soils is closely tied to interactions between soil microbes and plant root exudates.
- * A PANOMICS approach helps analyze these processes, including discoveries in how root exudates impact soil biology and the potential for finding new biological nitrification inhibitors to improve nitrogen efficiency.
Article Abstract
Nitrification and denitrification are soil biological processes responsible for large nitrogen losses from agricultural soils and generation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) NO. Increased use of nitrogen fertilizer and the resulting decline in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are a major concern in agroecosystems. This nitrogen cycle in the rhizosphere is influenced by an intimate soil microbiome-root exudate interaction and biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). A PANOMICS approach can dissect these processes. We review breakthroughs in this area, including identification and characterization of root exudates by metabolomics and proteomics, which facilitate better understanding of belowground chemical communications and help identify new biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs). We also address challenges for advancing the understanding of the role root exudates play in biotic and abiotic stresses.
