Overview of present knowledge of the rhizosphere and its implications for agriculture.
In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient uptake.
Summarizing data on the processes that occur in soil-plant interaction, this text emphasizes the biochemistry and the role of organic compounds in the rhizosphere environment.
This volume develops cross-scale links, including chapters focusing at mechanistic small scales as well as chapters exploring implications of rhizosphere biology for soil community structure and function, for responses of ecosystems to ...

Plant root exudates and breakdownproducts attract microbes and feed them and, in turn, the plants often bene?t from the microbes. Interactions among microorg- ismsandplantrootsareessentialfornutritionalrequirementsoftheplant.
13.2.3.3 Microbe-to-Microbe Signals In addition to inter-organismal signaling in the rhizosphere, microbe-to-microbe signals also play a role in mediating plant–microbe interactions. Quorum-sensing molecules coordinate the activity and ...
