Plants produce a large range of structurally varied low molecular weight secondary
metabolites, which evaporate, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Several of …

Fertility management is key to maintaining soil quality in crop systems and can have
important implications for plant growth and insect pest populations. Organic fertility …

Introduction Fitness of plants is affected by their symbiotic interactions with arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and such effects are highly dependent on the environmental …

Associations formed between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are
characterized by the bi-directional exchange of fungal-acquired soil nutrients for plant-fixed …

The majority of terrestrial plants can form symbiotic associations on their roots with
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the soil to stimulate the growth and nutrient uptake of …

We developed and applied a fully automated portable gas chromatography (GC) device for
rapid and in situ analysis of plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to examine plant …

The use of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi (EEF) represents a promising strategy to
boost plant resistance in crops against both biotic and environmental stresses. However, the …

The construction of a plant rhizosphere system enriched with beneficial microbes (BMs) can
efficiently help plants defend against phytophagous insects. However, our comprehensive …

Plants use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to cue natural enemies to their herbivore
prey on plants. Simultaneously, herbivores utilize volatile cues to identify appropriate hosts …

Plants have evolved various defense mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses.
Cooperation with microorganisms, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) …
