The Effects of Volatile Metabolites from Rhizobacteria on Arabidopsis thaliana

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Productivity

Abstract

Volatile substances are a very effective way to transmit information over long distances, especially for stationary plants. Just like the atmosphere, belowground habitats are full of volatile, biogenic signaling compounds that may have a drastic direct or indirect effect on intra-/interacting partners. For the first time, this study gives a deep insight into the extremely inhibitory effects of mixtures of volatiles from the rhizobacteria Serratia plymuthica and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The massive impairment of growth and the systematic production of hydrogen peroxide lead to complete death of the plant seedling, most likely due to nonspecific secondary result of the volatile compounds, whereas specific changes in transcription were initiated at an earlier time. In addition, an ecological relationship and the involvement of factors of the classic response to pathogens have been demonstrated on the basis of natural variants and mutants of A. thaliana, respectively. This work reveals fundamental insights into a new type of stress-initiating signals, which should also be taken into consideration when there is direct contact with the pathogens. Here the term mVAMP (microbial volatile-associated molecular pattern) has been suggested to indicate specifically acting volatile substances from microorganisms.
