Abstract
VOCs produced by beneficial bacteria penetrate the rhizosphere to inhibit the growth of plant-pathogenic microorganisms; thus, they have the potential to be used as biological agents in controlling plant diseases. Tobacco bacterial wilt, which is caused by the acidophilic pathogen R. solanacearum , is a major bacterial disease in southern China and is prevalent in acidic soil.
