Camarena-Pozos, David A. published the artcileSmells from the desert: Microbial volatiles that affect plant growth and development of native and non-native plant species, Safety of 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol, the main research area is Arabidopsis Nicotiana plant growth microbial volatile; agaves; arid environments; cacti; microbial organic volatile compounds; plant growth; plant microbiome; plant-microbe interactions.
The plant microbiota can affect host fitness via the emission of microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) that influence growth and development. However, evidence of these mols. and their effects in plants from arid ecosystems is limited. We screened the mVOCs produced by 40 core and representative members of the microbiome of agaves and cacti in their interaction with Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana. We used SPME-GC-MS to characterize the chem. diversity of mVOCs and tested the effects of selected compounds on growth and development of model and host plants. Our study revealed that approx. 90% of the bacterial strains promoted plant growth both in A. thaliana and N. benthamiana. Bacterial VOCs were mainly composed of esters, alcs., and S-containing compounds with 25% of them not previously characterized. Remarkably, Et isovalerate, isoamyl acetate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, benzyl alc., 2-phenylethyl alc., and 3-(methylthio)-1-propanol, and some of their mixtures, displayed beneficial effects in A. thaliana and also improved growth and development of Agave tequilana and Agave salmiana in just 60 days. Volatiles produced by bacteria isolated from agaves and cacti are promising mols. for the sustainable production of crops in arid and semi-arid regions.
Plant, Cell & Environment published new progress about Agave salmiana. 505-10-2 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol, and the molecular formula is C4H10OS, Safety of 3-(Methylthio)propan-1-ol.
