Phytotoxins detoxification

Detoxification strategies are certainly acquired during evolution and may allow also coexistence of phytotoxin exuding species in a given plant community. Therefore, the question arose whether a more or less developed capacity to detoxify phytotoxins could be a reason for the differences in sensitivity e. g., to BOA and probably to other allelo-chemicals as well. 

CBA contaminated soil but died when inoculated with degrader strains. Plant exudates were demonstrated to impact the bacteria physiology and bacteria inoculants are known to alter plant physiology. Thus, plants might change bacteria in such a way that they produce phytotoxins or phytotoxic metabolites or, alternatively, bacteria may interfere with certain plant detoxification processes. ...
