Application

• Volatile organic compounds of the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans suppress pathogens and elicit defense-responsive genes in plants.: This study explores the role of volatile organic compounds, including 2,3-Hexanedione, produced by Bacillus halotolerans. It demonstrates how these compounds suppress pathogenic microbes and induce defense genes in plants, suggesting potential applications in biocontrol and agriculture (Rana et al., 2024).
