All odorants are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), i.e., low molecular weight compounds that easily evaporate at normal temperatures and pressure. Fungal VOCs are relatively understudied compared to VOCs of bacterial, plant, or synthetic origin. Much of the research to date on fungal VOCs has focused on their food and flavor properties, their use as indirect indicators of fungal growth in agriculture, or their role as semiochemicals for insects. In addition, research into fungal volatiles has…

It is shown that fungal VOCs have a huge impact on soil fauna and flora, but the underlying mechanisms, how V OCs are perceived by the recipients, how they manipulate their targets and the resulting ecological consequences of VOCS in inter-kingdom signaling is only partly understood.
Roles of Fungal Volatiles from Perspective of Distinct Lifestyles in Filamentous Fungi
- BiologyThe plant pathology journal
- 2020
The possibility that different lifestyles are intimately associated with an ability to produce a repertoire of FVOCs in fungi is discussed, and mechanistic insight into how specific interactions are mediated by such FV OCs at the molecular levels requires further testing.
