Chemotaxis of Rhizobium spp. to Plant Root Exudates.
Rhizobium spp. show chemotaxis to plant root exudates. Both legumes and non-legume root exudates attract the different rhizobia studied. However, the bacteria show a differential response in that they are attracted to the root exudates of some plants and show no attraction toward others. An example of negative chemotaxis was also observed. The trefoil strain of Rhizobium shows chemotaxis which ...
متن کاملRoot exudates: the hidden part of plant defense.
The significance of root exudates as belowground defense substances has long been underestimated, presumably due to being buried out of sight. Nevertheless, this chapter of root biology has been progressively addressed within the past decade through the characterization of novel constitutively secreted and inducible phytochemicals that directly repel, inhibit, or kill pathogenic microorganisms ...
متن کاملRoot traits contributing to plant productivity under drought
Geneticists and breeders are positioned to breed plants with root traits that improve productivity under drought. However, a better understanding of root functional traits and how traits are related to whole plant strategies to increase crop productivity under different drought conditions is needed. Root traits associated with maintaining plant productivity under drought include small fine root...
متن کاملMicrobially Mediated Plant Functional Traits
Plants are rife with bacteria and fungi that colonize roots and shoots both externally and internally. By providing novel nutritional and defense pathways and influencing plant biochemical pathways, microbes can fundamentally alter plant phenotypes. Here we review the widespread nature of microbially mediated plant functional traits. We highlight that there is likely fitness conflict between ho...
متن کاملTranscriptome profiling of bacterial responses to root exudates identifies genes involved in microbe-plant interactions.
Molecules exuded by plant roots are thought to act as signals to influence the ability of microbial strains to colonize the roots and to survive in the rhizosphere. Differential bacterial responses to signals from different plant species may mediate the selection of specific rhizosphere populations. Very little, however, is known about the effects of plant exudates on patterns of bacterial gene...
