Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• Interactions involving plant roots
– Rhizoplane - the surface of the plant root, root hairs present large surface area (> 6 m2 for an average wheat plant). Only 4 - 10% of the rhizoplane is in direct contact with soil microbes.
– Rhizosphere - the area of the soil directly influenced by plant roots (extremely variable). Soil that remains after shaking off roots.

Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• Interactions involving plant roots
– Rhizosheath - some plants excrete a mucous-like material that cement sand grains together around the root. Most common in dry soils.

Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• R/S ratio - indicates the importance of the root system to the microbial community.
– R the number or biomass of microbes in the rhizoshphere.
– S the number or biomass of microbes in root-free soil.
– R/S typically between 5 and 20, can be >100

Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• In the rhizosphere (relative to root-free soil)
– abundance of Gram-negative rods is higher
– abundance of Gram-positive rods and cocci is lower
• Reflects the influence of plant root exudates and the selection of organisms with high growth rates

Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• Root exudates
– amino acids (proteins)
– keto acids (TCA cycle)
– vitamins (enzyme co-factors)
– sugars (C and energy)
![Page 6: Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial Interactions involving plant roots Interactions involving plant roots –Rhizoplane - the surface of the plant root,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081421/551bbbbd550346af588b472e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Plant/Microbe Interactions - Beneficial
• Roots surrounded by active microbes produce more exudates than roots in sterile soil.
• The roots are not just leaky, there is an interaction with the microbial community.
• As a plant grows the community in the rhizosphere changes to fast-growing, growth factor-requiring organisms.

• Microbial populations are clearly benefited by the interaction with roots . . . but what does the plant get?
• One major plant benefit is nutrient uptake . . .
