This study explores the antipathogenic properties of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by LT1, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of . The impact of these VOCs on the mycelial growth of LC1, the causative agent of southern blight in , was evaluated using a double Petri-dish assay. The biocontrol efficacy of these VOCs was further assessed through leaf inoculation and pot experiments. Antifungal VOCs were collected using headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME), and their components were identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results revealed that the VOCs significantly inhibited the mycelial growth and sclerotia germination of LC1 and disrupted the morphological integrity of fungal mycelia. Under the influence of these VOCs, genes associated with chitin synthesis were upregulated, while those related to cell wall degrading enzymes were downregulated. Notably, 2-dodecanone and 2-undecanone exhibited inhibition rates of 81.67% and 80.08%, respectively. This research provides a novel approach for the prevention and management of southern blight in , highlighting the potential of microbial VOCs in biocontrol strategies.

is one of the most important plant-pathogenic fungi that causes disease on wheat and maize, as it decreases yield in both crops and produces mycotoxins that pose a risk to human and animal health. Resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat is well studied and documented. However, resistance to Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize is less understood, despite several similarities with FHB.

Article Synopsis
- Plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like green leaf volatiles (GLVs) and pentyl leaf volatiles (PLVs) to communicate and respond to stressors, with PLVs being less studied despite their significance.
- Disrupting the maize-specific lipoxygenase ZmLOX6 reduces the production of PLVs, leading to decreased resistance against fall armyworm and fungal pathogens, as well as altered metabolite profiles.
- The study highlights a potential competition between the production pathways of PLVs and GLVs, showing that enhancing PLV levels can improve plant resistance to herbivores and specific pathogens while revealing the divergent roles of these compounds in plant defense mechanisms.

Dendrobium orchids are well known for their great horticultural and medicinal values; however, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system for Dendrobium species still needs to be improved. Therefore, this study aims to establish a CRISPR/Cas9-based functional validation system using Dendrobium officinale as a model species for the Dendrobium genus and to validate the DoALA4─DoALA6 genes, which may relate to growth and disease resistance. We first conducted a bioinformatics analysis of the P-type ATPase gene family in D.

Fusarium dry rot, Pythium leak and Southern blight diseases caused by various Fusarium species, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Agroathelia rolfsii, respectively, are responsible for important losses of tuber at the post-harvest stage in Tunisia. In the present study, six Bacillus strains, isolated from wild solanaceous plants, were screened for their abilities to inhibit potato pathogens in vitro and on potato tubers. Based on the dual culture assays, the whole cell suspensions of B.
