Finds volatile organic compounds enhance crop resilience through microbiome interactions, suggesting sustainable agriculture solutions.
Herbivory triggers the production of green leaf volatiles, and dense planting results in induces increased concentration of linalool emission in maize canopies. These volatiles activate plant-soil feedback that enriches beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, enhancing resistance, though sometimes at a growth cost, thereby offering new avenues for sustainable crop improvement.
