Fungi Indirectly Affect Plant Root Architecture by Modulating Soil Volatile Organic Compounds

The plant-growth modulating effect of microbial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been demonstrated repeatedly. This has most often been performed by exposing plants to VOC released by microbes grown on nutrient rich media. Here, we used soil instead to grow fungi of the Fusarium genus and inves...
