Volatile compounds (VCs) released by different phytopathogenic fungi act as signals that promote the growth of plants, photosynthesis, early flowering, and starch over-accumulation in leaves. The International research team of scientists, among others, from Niigata University Kariwa Village Advanced Agro-Biotechnology Research Center (including Specially Appointed Assistant Professor Marouane Baslam, Professor Toshiaki Mitsui) and the CSIC-Institute of Agrobiotechnology (Pamplona, Spain) (including Professor Javier Pozueta-Romero) found an important target involved in the mechanisms of VCs-promoting plant growth.
