Belowground Fungal Volatile Exposure Induces Systemic Metabolic Reprogramming in Poplar

ABSTRACT Although trees encounter diverse soil‐associated fungi, it is unclear how they adjust their physiology in response to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from fungi with contrasting ecological strategies before physical contact. Here, we tested whether VOCs emitted by fungi are sufficient to induce systemic, fun...
