The effect of root hairs on exudate composition: a comparative non-targeted metabolomics approach.

ABSTRACT: Root exudation is a major pathway of organic carbon input into soils. It affects soil physical properties, element solubility as well as speciation, and impacts the microbial community in the rhizosphere. Root exudates contain a large number of primary and secondary plant metabolites, and the amount and composition are highly variable depending on plant species and developmental stage. Detailed information about exudate composition will allow for a better understanding of exudate-driven rhizosphere processes and their feedback loops. Although non-targeted metabolomics by high-resolution mass spectrometry is an established tool to characterize root exudate composition, the extent and depth of the information obtained depends strongly on the analytical approach applied. Here, two genotypes o
