To examine the effect of root exudates (e.g. phytosiderophores) on iron (Fe) mobilization in the rhizosphere and Fe uptake, wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Ares) were precultured for 17 d in ...

Exudates also have an important role in holding soil together. Roots and fungi that live in the soil hold together larger clumps of soil, but exudates work on the micro level.
