Changes in Root Exudate Composition Drive the Evolution of Their Ecological Functions Towards Improved Chemical Defense and Plant-Microbe Interactions.
Alterations in root exudates and their ecological significance across plant evolutionary divergence time remain elusive due to methodological challenges. Herein, we measured root exudate composition of 20 woody species and assessed its associations with root traits and rhizosphere microbiota to investigate the ecologic...
