Untargeted metabolome of rice root exudates

Key Points

• To analyze the metabolome of rice root exudates during the tillering stage and under circadian influence.
• Collected root exudates over a 4-hour daytime period
• Focused on the tillering stage of rice plants
• Used untargeted metabolomics techniques for analysis
• Identified a variety of metabolites released by rice roots
• Metabolite profiles varied throughout the daytime, suggesting circadian regulation
• Highlight potential metabolic activities influencing plant development
