Abstract
The loss of organic nutrients into the surrounding medium from healthy and intact plant roots has been termed exudation (90). Compounds exuded by plant roots are representative of compounds normally found within the living plant cell. However, the majority of the compounds found in root exudates are amino acids, sugars, and organic acids. These compounds exert a strong influence on plant nutrient availability, nutrient absorption by roots, and nutrition of soil microorganisms (36). Most of the work on sugar exudation has been confined to qualitative identification and effects on soil microorganisms. However, there have been a few reports of quantitative estimations of root sugar exudates.
