Evolutionary Divergences in Root Exudate Composition among Ecologically-Contrasting Helianthus Species.
Plant roots exude numerous metabolites into the soil that influence nutrient availability. Although root exudate composition is hypothesized to be under selection in low fertility soils, few studies have tested this hypothesis in a phylogenetic framework. In this study, we examined root exudates of...
