Abstract
Provided is a plant exudate, methods for obtaining a plant exudate by inducing the plant to secrete an exudate and systems for the collection of a plant exudate which include: one or more plant container including at least two discrete compartments each configured to accommodate a split root of a plant, the compartments being a root stimulating compartment including one or more input being in fluid communication with at least a source of a plant root stimulant, and a root exudate harvesting compartment, and a root exudate collection compartment in fluid communication with the root exudate harvesting compartment.

A method for obtaining an exudate from a Cannabis sativa root, the method comprising:
- a) providing Cannabis sativa;
- b) splitting a root of the Cannabis sativa into at least two root moieties;
- c) placing each root moiety of the Cannabis sativa into a separate container or compartment;
- d) stimulating a first root moiety of the Cannabis sativa or an aerial portion of the Cannabis sativa with methyl jasmonate to induce exudation or secretion of an exudate by the second root moiety of the Cannabis sativa into the container or compartment of the second root moiety;
- and
- e) harvesting the exudate from the container or compartment wherein said exudate comprises a metabolite of interest, wherein said metabolite of interest comprises a cannabinoid, a terpenoid, or a combination thereof.
