Volatiles emitted by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana elicit growth and defense in sorghum plants
VOCs emitted by <i>B. bassiana</i> and 3-MB promote sorghum growth and activate adaptive defense traits. Moreover, VOCs from AS5 triggered a stronger biochemical response in plants than VOCs emitted by AI2. These results suggested that the response of the plant was strain-specific. Finally, 3MB is a fungal compound that may stimulate plant growth and defense.
