“…Moreover, whilst many studies demonstrate VOCs have suppressive effects on plant pathogens, it is important to determine the effect of these inhibitory VOCs on plant development. For example, inhibitory mVOCs produced by Streptomyces yanglinensis 3–10 against Aspergillus were tested to determine their effects on plant development and showed that VOCs did not inhibit peanut seedling germination, suggesting promise for use under field conditions (Lyu et al ., 2020). The modes of action of VOCs in the suppression of target pathogens (Dalilla et al ., 2015; Cho et al ., 2017; Tahir et al ., 2017a; Xie et al ., 2018; Yang et al ., 2019; Ojaghian et al ., 2019), enhanced disease resistance of plants (Ryu et al ., 2004; Lee et al ., 2012; Song and Ryu, 2013; Tahir et al ., 2017a; Tahir et al ., 2017b; Song et al ., 2019b; Tyagi et al ., 2020) and plant growth promotion (Ryu et al ., 2003; Garnica‐Vergara et al ., 2016; Lee et al ., 2019; Tyagi et al ., 2019) are receiving increasing attention, future research priority should focus on understanding the mode of action of biologically active VOCs on target plants and pathogens.…”
