Pseudoarthrobacter BD237 volatile organic compounds promote Brachypodium distachyon growth

Carl Otto Pille, I Nyoman Sumerta, Hang‐Wei Hu, Zahra F. Islam

This study shows that mVOCs from Pseudoarthrobacter BD237 enhance Brachypodium distachyon growth and stress tolerance by promoting photosynthesis and abiotic stress response.
