abstract = {Plants transport substantial amounts of fresh
photosynthates into their root system. From there, the
photosynthates are par-tially released into the rhizosphere
by rhizodeposition, which promotes interactions with
microorganisms. Little is known aboutthe spatial
distribution of photosynthates within the root system, and
how these distributional patterns relate to
rhizodepositionand the assembly of rhizosphere microbial
communities. To assess root-internal photosynthate
distribution, we labelled youngmaize plants with short-lived
11CO2 on days 14 and 21 after sowing. 11C allocation within
the root system was then visualized usingnon-invasive
positron emission tomography (PET) in combination with
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The same plants
werelabelled with the stable isotope 13CO2 for 6 consecutive
days in order to trace the path of photosynthates into the
rhizosphereand microbiota. Roots and rhizosphere soil were
harvested on day 22, using the previously acquired PET/MRI
scans to target rootregions with distinct photosynthate
levels. Rhizosphere organisms that consumed 13C-labelled
photosynthates were identifiedby DNA stable isotope probing
followed by amplicon sequencing. Isotope ratio mass
spectrometry (IRMS) was used to quantify13C in rhizosphere
soil. The visualization and quantification of root-internal
11C by PET combined with MRI revealed an
increasedaccumulation of photosynthates in root tips,
particularly in young crown root tips. This pattern was
partially reflected in thedistribution of 13C in the
rhizosphere as determined by IRMS. Previous results of
PET/MRI guided rhizosphere sampling alreadyrevealed a slight
effect of photosynthate distribution within the root system
on the local microbial community structure. Now,this effect
is being tested with a more sensitive method that focuses on
the direct microbial consumers of photosynthates bycombining
11CO2 labelling with 13C stable isotope probing. During the
conference, the results of microbial community analysis
willbe discussed, along with the associated root-internal
and -external photosynthate allocation.},
