How Plants Might Recognize Rhizospheric Bacterial Volatiles
In contrast to animals, plants possess neither olfactory organs nor a central nervous system. However, they do perceive and systemically react to volatile stimuli. Such function serves in monitoring the immediate and remote environments and translates int

Preface
Volatiles are ubiquitous. It is common knowledge that plants synthesise a diverse array of volatile compounds that mediate a variety of interactions between plants and their environment, ranging from attracting pollinators to protecting the plants from pathogens, parasites and herbivores. The role of volatile compounds in plant– microbe interactions was seldom reported prior to 2003. Since then, many studies showed that bacterial volatiles can promote plant growth and immunity, but also influence the growth of fungi. These reports triggered a strong interest in the scientific community and many researchers started to work on the topic of bacterial volatile emission and its relevance for agronomy, and more recently, also for the medical field, e.g. for disease diagnosis. This book presents a comprehensive review about all major aspects of bacterial volatiles and their interactions with other organisms such
