Following elicitor treatment with a range of known defense signaling compounds, more than 200 metabolites were found and a subset of these was characterized. This study along with the supplementary material of [6] reveals that root exudates are rich sources of secondary metabolites.

The authors identified several new indole-derived compounds, as well as a full range of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted benzoate and cinnamate derivatives, that are bound to the cell-wall fraction. The results highlight the diversity of cell-wall-bound secondary metabolites, which might be involved in defense against pathogens.
