During the last decade, the importance of bacterial volatiles in cross-kingdom interactions has become evident. In addition to promoting plant growth and root development, bacterial volatiles have been repeatedly shown to inhibit the growth of phytopathogenic fungi, although the molecules responsible for this effect are still largely unknown. Likewise, the mechanisms underlying the observed growth inhibition have never yet been investigated. In this proposal, we aim at elucidating the mechanisms by which Pseudomonas strains newly isolated from infested potato plants are able to induce complete growth arrest in the late blight causing agent Phytophthora infestans.
