Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that acts as an internal and external diffusion and transpiration barrier in plants. It is involved in two phases of wound healing, i.e. initial closing layer formation and subsequent wound periderm development. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of wounde...

Plants produce thousands of compounds, collectively called the metabolome, which mediate interactions with other organisms. The metabolome of an individual plant may change according to the number and nature of these interactions. We tested the hypothesis that tree diversity level affects the met...

Plants exude a diverse cocktail of metabolites into the soil as response to exogenous and endogenous influences. So far, root exudates have only been studied under artificial conditions due to methodological difficulties. In this study, each five perennial grass and forb species were investigated...
