Root exudate is a general term for organic substances released by living plants into the inter-root environment through different parts of the root system in a given environment and is a complex non-homogeneous system. It includes diffusate, secretion, and excretion. Root secretion mainly consists of mucilage, extracellular enzymes, low molecular organic acids, sugars, phenols, and various amino acids (including non-protein amino acids, such as plant iron carriers), which can be classified into sugars, amino acids, organic acids, phenolic acids, fatty acids, sterols, proteins, growth factors, etc. by type. Root secretion can improve nutrient uptake and utilization by plant roots and adapt to external environmental changes by changing the physical, chemical, or biological properties of the root system, and it is also a key factor in regulating the microecological functions of the root system.

What We Offer

In inter-root soils, root secretions play an important role in mediating the interactions between plants and surrounding microorganisms. Root secretions are attractive to some microorganisms, and such chemotactic bacteria or fungi can accumulate and multiply in the inter-rhizosphere. In contrast, some pathogenic bacteria are inhibited. Based on this research background, Lifeasible has established an analytical service platform for plant inter-root biology, covering key research hotspots such as the interaction between root secretions and inter-root fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes, collection and identification of root secretions, and analysis of inter-root microbiota to meet all your needs for plant inter-root biology research.
