Book Chapter Description

Volatile compounds released by different plant species are involved in a vast array of adaptive and physiological functions including attraction of pollinators, seed dispersers, and natural enemies, defense against herbivorous insects, predators/parasitoids, and microbial attack, and as communication signals in plant-plant and plant-microbe interactions. Monitoring changes in emission patterns of these compounds over time may represent a potential approach for early detection and solving many agricultural problems in the field. In this chapter, we will highlight the potentials of these compounds as sustainable solutions to improve crop growth and production, exploring their antimicrobial, herbicidal, resistance priming, allelopathic, plant growth promoting/suppressing effects and their applications in smart agriculture practices.
