Bioagent-Induced Root Volatile Compounds Mediate Defense Responses against Root-Knot Nematode and Fusarium Wilt in Sunflower
Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum frequently occur as a disease complex that severely constrains sunflower productivity. This study investigated the role of Bacillus subtilis RB62 in modulating root-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and enhancing sunflower...
