Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota
Plants can modify soil microbiota through root exudation, but how this process influences plant health in turn is often unclear. Here, Hu et al. show that maize benzoxazinoids released into the soil modify root-associated microbiota and thereby increase leaf defenses of the next plant generation.
