This study shows that GSNOR-dependent nitric oxide homeostasis aids recovery from repeated climate stress in Arabidopsis across generations, while its impairment leads to persistent stress responses.

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.

The paper studies VOC emissions from dryland soils after rewetting, finding strong emissions of sesquiterpenes and benzenoids that can form ozone and aerosols.

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 that Azolla co-cultivation with rice alters the metabolome of rice plants, with root and leaf metabolite changes linked to small peptides and flavonoids.
