Root Exudate — Biology

  • Chapter
Book cover Techniques in Mycorrhizal Studies

Abstract

Root exudation is an important ecological phenomenon which can manipulate plant and microbial succession. Under sterile conditions only 5–10% of the fixed carbon is released by roots compared to 12–% released from roots in nonsterile soil and the increase is attributed to rhizosphere microflora. There is more exudation by symbiotic plants. Different techniques for collection and analysis of constituents of root exudates has been described. Various factors governing the rate of exudation has also been given.
