When the #wheat plants you have been nurturing for months fall down because of a storm, you need to give them a hand. #drooght
🌱 Does #phosphorus shape what #roots release into the soil? Yes, but only at the right moment in the plant's life.
New #preprint from Sasha Pollet and Jean-Thomas Cornelis team UBC on white lupin root exudates across development. #plantscience #rhizosphere 🧵
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Phenological stage accounts for ~49% of variation in root exudate profiles, while phosphorus supply has no significant overall effect, except at flowering.
Developmental timing turns out to be the primary driver. #metabolomics #phosphorus #rhizosphere
Practical takeaway: organic acid exudation in white lupin is highest during early growth and drops substantially by flowering. If the goal is phosphorus mobilisation in the rhizosphere, plant developmental stage may matter as much as fertilisation rate. #sustainableagriculture #soilhealth
