Microorganisms are exceptional at producing several volatile substances called microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). The mVOCs allow the microorganism to communicate with other organisms via both inter and intracellular signaling pathways. Recent investigation has revealed that mVOCs are chemically very diverse and play vital roles in plant interactions and microbial communication. The mVOCs can also modify the plant's physiological and hormonal pathways to augment plant growth and production. Moreover, mVOCs have been affirmed for effective alleviation of stresses, and also act as an elicitor of plant immunity. Thus, mVOCs act as an effective alternative to various chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The present review summarizes the recent findings about mVOCs and their roles in inter and intra-kingdoms interactions. Prospects for improving soil fertility, food safety, and security are affirmed for mVOCs application for sustainable agriculture.
微生物在产生几种被称为微生物挥发性有机化合物（mVOCs）的挥发性物质方面表现出色。mVOCs使微生物能够通过细胞间和细胞内信号通路与其他生物进行交流。最近的研究表明，mVOCs在化学上非常多样，并且在植物相互作用和微生物通讯中发挥着至关重要的作用。mVOCs还可以改变植物的生理和激素途径，以促进植物生长和产量。此外，mVOCs已被证实能有效缓解胁迫，还可作为植物免疫的激发子。因此，mVOCs可作为各种化肥和农药的有效替代品。本综述总结了关于mVOCs及其在界内和界间相互作用中作用的最新研究结果。mVOCs应用于可持续农业在改善土壤肥力、食品安全和保障方面的前景得到了肯定。
