This study shows poplar trees can distinguish between pathogenic, mutualistic, and saprotrophic fungi using airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs), leading to specific root and leaf responses.

This study shows that fungal volatiles induce lifestyle-specific metabolic changes in poplar before physical contact, revealing a non-contact mechanism of plant-fungal communication.

The paper shows isoprene, a plant volatile, acts as a short-distance immune signal in field conditions, enhancing resistance in neighboring plants to bacterial pathogens.

This study investigates metabolic interactions between Laccaria bicolor and Trichoderma species through VOCs, hyphal metabolomes, and soluble metabolites in dual cultures.

This study shows Trichoderma spp. can distinguish between beneficial ectomycorrhizal fungi and pathogenic fungi, showing accelerated growth toward pathogens and reduced growth toward mycorrhizal fungi.
