How Bacterial VOCs Boost Salt Tolerance in Pepper Plants Through Two-Way Chemical Signaling

A new study uncovers how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Enterobacter hormaechei WU-15 enhance salt tolerance in pepper seedlings while pepper root exudates simultaneously stimulate bacterial growth and metabolism. The research reveals a two-way chemical signaling system shaping plant–microbe resilience under salt stress.
