“…The aromatic volatiles, especially the phenylpropanoids, are reported to bind to proteins in the cell membranes, thereby changing their conformation (Bennis, Chami, Chami, Bouchikhi, & Remmal, ). Similarly, GLVs, such as ( E )‐2‐hexenal bind to microbial proteins secreted into the extracellular space, rendering them non‐functional (Myung, Hamilton‐Kemp, & Archbold, ), whereas indolic volatiles are known to disrupt the integrity of the cytoskeleton (Mei et al, ). In addition, plant volatiles can cause programmed cell death (Chen, Zheng, et al, ), disrupt the respiratory electron chain (Fry & Munch, ), inhibit specific enzymes (Wendakoon & Sakaguchi, ), and interrupt communication between microbial cells such as that in bacterial quorum sensing (Joshi et al, ).…”
