AB  - The aim of this mini-review was to identify the dominant carbohydrates, organic acids and amino acids in water-soluble root exudates of plants which represent dominant compounds there. The study is focused on plants of C&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;-type of metabolism taking into account available literature. From group of carbohydrates, those dominant are represented glucose, fructose, arabinose and sucrose. Between dominant amino acids occurring in root exudates of C&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;-metabolism plants are alanine, serine, arginine, glutamine, glutamic and aspartic acid, glycine, proline, cystine, lysine and γ-aminobutyric acid. Citric, malic, tartaric, succinic, trans-aconitic represent the dominant organic acids. This knowledge may be useful for planning analyses of these compounds in root exudates of C&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; plants. Except for this preparation of synthetic root exudates to simulate rhizosphere of C&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; plants may be performed based on these results.
