Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The subject matter of the present invention relates to the field of plant growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria (PGPR). In particular, the subject matter of the present invention relates to PGPR, which induces the production of volatile organic compounds in plants treated with said bacteria. Background technique
[0002] In fact, the induction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in plants has not been investigated, although there is evidence that the induction of plant volatiles is dependent on biological factors such as phytohormones (de Bruxelles and Roberts, 2001; Ament et al., 2004), Elicitors of herbivorous origin (Spiteller and Boland, 2003) and associated microorganisms including pathogens (Preston et al., 1999; Cardoza et al., 2002) as well as abiotic factors such as trauma (Mithofer et al., 2005), heavy metals (Mithofer et al., 2004 ) and the interaction of temperature and light (Takabayashi et al., 1994).
