The fungal volatile organic compound 6-pentyl-alpha-pyrone primes dwarf bean for enhanced drought tolerance
Drought-stressed plants treated with 6PP exhibited enhanced MAPK phosphorylation, providing protein-level evidence for activation of phosphorylation-mediated signaling pathways associated with stress tolerance and identifying 6PP as a potential signaling molecule contributing to enhanced drought resilience.
