The role of microbial signals in plant growth and development

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent developments in the identification of signals from free-living bacteria and fungi that interact with plants in a beneficial way and the role played by volatile organic compounds released by certain plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in plant immunity and developmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial volatiles and their action potential

TL;DR: This review summarizes the presently known bioactive compounds and lists the wide panoply of effects possessed by organisms such as fungi, plants, animals, and bacteria to represent a source for new natural compounds that are interesting for man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Volatile Mediated Interactions Between Bacteria and Fungi in the Soil

TL;DR: Morphological and phenotypical alterations and reactions that occur in the organisms due to the presence of mVOCs might provide clues for elucidating the biological and ecological significance ofmVOC emissions and will help to unravel the entirety of belowground‚ volatile-wired’ interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Terpene synthases are widely distributed in bacteria

TL;DR: A powerful search method based on the use of hidden Markov models (HMMs) and protein families database (Pfam) search that has allowed the discovery of monoterpene synthases of bacterial origin is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial volatile emissions as insect semiochemicals.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that insect olfactory responses to emissions from microorganisms inhabiting their sensory environment are much more common than currently recognized, and that these signals represent evolutionarily reliable infochemicals.

A novel multigene family may encode odorant receptors: A molecular basis for odor recognition

TL;DR: This work has cloned and characterized 18 different members of an extremely large multigene family that encodes seven transmembrane domain proteins whose expression is restricted to the olfactory epithelium and is likely to encode a diverse family of odorant receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oceanic phytoplankton, atmospheric sulphur, cloud albedo and climate

TL;DR: The major source of cloud-condensation nuclei (CCN) over the oceans appears to be dimethylsulphide, which is produced by planktonic algae in sea water and oxidizes in the atmosphere to form a sulphate aerosol as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric aerosols: Biogeochemical sources and role in atmospheric chemistry

TL;DR: In this article, two important aerosol species, sulfate and organic particles, have large natural biogenic sources that depend in a highly complex fashion on environmental and ecological parameters and therefore are prone to influence by global change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial volatiles promote growth in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The demonstration that PGPR strains release different volatile blends and that plant growth is stimulated by differences in these volatile blends establishes an additional function for volatile organic compounds as signaling molecules mediating plant–microbe interactions.
