Compares root exudation responses in rice cultivars under varying phosphorus and light conditions, suggesting implications for crop management.

The study aims to examine how phosphorus availability and light intensity influence root exudation patterns in different rice cultivars.
Compared root exudation in low-P-tolerant cultivar Dalixiang versus P-susceptible cultivar Meixiangzhan.
Evaluated effects under varying light intensities and phosphorus supplies.
Analyzed differential metabolites and metabolic pathways involved.
Dalixiang showed increased root-to-shoot ratio under phosphorus deficiency, unlike Meixiangzhan.
Light intensity had a greater effect on root exudation profiles than phosphorus supply.
Identified 301 differential metabolites related to light versus 185 associated with phosphorus.
Significant metabolic flexibility in Dalixiang allowed for broader exudate release.
