Microbial volatile humulene orchestrates plant-microbe alliance to establish disease-suppressive rhizosphere.

Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) suppress growth and virulence traits of soil-borne pathogens, yet their ecological roles in disease suppression remain unclear. Here, we show that the sesquiterpene humulene from Streptomyces acts as a multifunctional regulator that suppresses bacterial wilt through coordina...
