2005) endodermis - a single layer of cells enclosing the vascular tissue of the root (Raven et al. 1999) exudates - compounds released into the soil/rhizosphere by plant roots (Walker et al.

Researchers with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon are studying the microbes that live near the roots of canola ...

This study summarizes the current research status of the impacts of crop domestication and improvement on root characteristics and the structure and function of related microbial communities, deeply ...

Root exudates and the rhizosphere microbiome play critical roles in controlling crown gall disease, but their roles in suppressing crown gall disease in grafted plants remain unclear. Here ...

The roots release a series of exudates into the rhizosphere. These root exudates act as an "intermediary" between plants and the soil to alter the growth environment of the roots. This process not ...

Rice and other plants release these compounds, known as "root exudates," to feed soil microbes, which in turn aid plant ...

Plants affected by RKN may become chlorotic and/or stunted due to reduced access to water and in severe cases plant death may occur. RKN overwinters in the soil as eggs. Root exudates from a ...

One group of organisms that interact with plant roots is bacteria, a group consisting of both pathogenic and beneficial forms. Bacteria in the rhizosphere can influence the physiological activity of ...
