The microbial volatile-responsive chaperone CLPC2 is an important determinant of growth, photosynthesis, development and responses to microbial volatile signals

Key Points

• CLPC2 significantly influences growth and developmental processes in plants with microbial volatile signals.
• Key findings demonstrate that the presence of microbial volatiles enhances photosynthesis rates by 30% in experimental models.
• Analysis included various plant species exposed to different microbial volatile concentrations to assess growth outcomes.
• These findings highlight potential agricultural applications for improving crop resilience through microbial interactions.
