Elucidation of plant mechanisms of response to volatile compounds from microorganisms: Paving the way for the development of environmentally friendly new plant growth promoters

Jul 24 2019

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.
