Bioactivity of soil applied fungal VOCs

Soil application of cell-free culture filtrates (CF) of beneficial soil and plant-associated microorganisms enhances plant growth and yield. However, the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon remain unclear. In this work we characterized the responses of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants and of soil microbiota to soil application of CFs of beneficial and phytopathogenic fungi.向土壤施加与植物关联的有益土壤微生物的无细胞培养滤液（cell-free culture filtrates，CF），可促进植物生长并提升作物产量。然而，该现象背后的作用机制仍未阐明。本研究针对有益真菌与植物病原真菌的无细胞培养滤液开展土壤施加实验，解析了辣椒（*Capsicum annuum* L.）植株与土壤微生物群落对此处理的响应特征。
