Fig. 5From: Root exudates drive the soil-borne legacy of aboveground pathogen infectionMechanistic model of soil-borne legacies induced by foliar pathogens. First, the predecessor plants release root exudates into soil to manipulate soil microbial community dynamics and recruit beneficial microbes when attacked by foliar pathogens. The resulting shifts then elicit phenotypic changes (such as phytohormone level) in the new plants to adapt to the pathogens’ attackBack to article page
