Volatile organic compounds stimulate plant growing and seed germination of Lactuca sativa

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by Bacillus species have been reported as growth inducers in Arabidopsis thaliana, but their effects on horticultural species have been scarcely studied. In this study, Lactuca sativa emerges as a model vegetable to evaluate VOCs release by Bacillus sp. BCT9...
