Key Points

The study aims to explore how volatiles from Beauveria bassiana affect growth and defense mechanisms in sorghum.
Gene expression analysis using qPCR for SbCOI-1 and SbPR-1 in Sorghum bicolor.
Exposure of sorghum samples to volatiles from Beauveria bassiana strains AS5 and AI2.
Evaluation of the impact of 3-methylbutanol on sorghum growth.
Fungal volatiles significantly induce gene expression related to growth in sorghum.
Increased SbPR-1 expression indicates enhanced defense responses in sorghum.
3-methylbutanol exposure correlates with positive growth effects in sorghum.

Abstract

Raw data and metadata of SbCOI-1 and SbPR-1 gene expression by qPCR technique of Sorghum bicolor samples exposed to fungal volatiles of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana of strain AS5 and strain AI2, as well as the compound 3-methylbutanol.
