Response of soybean root exudates and related metabolic pathways to low phosphorus stress. by Yubo Yao, Hongmei Yuan, Dandan Liu, Lili Cheng

“…Our results revealed that with increasing P stress severity and/or duration, soybean roots produced altered types, quantities, and increased numbers of exudate metabolites (DMs in the P1 group were primarily upregulated, whereas those in the P11 group were predominately downregulated) caused by changes in regulation of activities of numerous metabolic pathways. These pathways had functions related to environmental adaptation, energy metabolism, and scavenging of reactive oxygen species and primarily included amino acid, flavonoid, and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolic pathways and pathways related to isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis, sugar catabolism, and phospholipid metabolism. …”
