Bacterial volatile compounds (BVCs) are not waste or by-products of primary metabolism but rather have critical roles in the biology and ecological competence of bacteria. BVCs are exploited as a source of nutrients and information in plant-bacteria interactions. They target key points in plant physiology, activating downstream metabolic pathways by a domino effect. BVCs are an ancient signal and are involved in plant-bacteria communication, which was shaped during evolutionary history and established before the development of higher plants. This type of communication is not exclusive to mutualistic interactions, because pathogens also use volatiles to alter plant physiology. Here, fragmented information is drawn together to provide a clearer view of how BVCs affect such interactions.
细菌挥发性化合物（Bacterial volatile compounds，BVCs）不是初级代谢的废物或副产物，而是在细菌的生物学和生态能力中具有关键作用。BVCs 被用作植物-细菌相互作用中营养物质和信息的来源。它们针对植物生理学的关键点，通过级联反应激活下游代谢途径。BVCs 是一种古老的信号，参与植物-细菌的通讯，这种通讯是在进化历史中形成的，并且在高等植物出现之前就已经建立了。这种通讯不仅限于互利的相互作用，因为病原体也利用挥发物来改变植物的生理学。在这里，将零散的信息汇集在一起，以更清楚地了解 BVCs 如何影响这些相互作用。
