Volatiles exist ubiquitously in nature. Volatile compounds produced by plants and microorganisms confer inter-kingdom and intra-kingdom communications. Autoinducer signaling molecules from contact-based chemical communication, such as bacterial quorum sensing, are relayed through short distances. By contrast, biogenic volatiles derived from plant-microbe interactions generate long-distance (>20 cm) alarm signals for sensing harmful microorganisms. In this review, we discuss prior work on volatile compound-mediated diagnosis of plant diseases, and the use of volatile packaging and dispensing approaches for the biological control of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. In this regard, recent developments on technologies to analyze and detect microbial volatile compounds are introduced. Furthermore, we survey the chemical encapsulation, slow-release, and bio-nano techniques for volatile formulation and delivery that are expected to overcome limitations in the application of biogenic volatiles to modern agriculture. Collectively, technological advances in volatile compound detection, packaging, and delivery provide great potential for the implementation of ecologically-sound plant disease management strategies. We hope that this review will help farmers and young scientists understand the nature of microbial volatile compounds, and shift paradigms on disease diagnosis and management to aromatic (volatile-based) agriculture.

Electrophysiological recordings of antennal responses to common plant volatile chemicals in the rice brown planthopper, Niloparuota lugens (Homoptera: Delphasidae}, were examined. Volatile plant chemicals were generally credited with a major role In host plant location for food or egg laying by many insects feeding on plants as adults and/or as larvae. An mitial examination of extracellular responses has been conducted. Acton potentials recorded from the plaque organs were initially positive-going, biphaslc spikes and the background firing rate of the cells recorded ranged from 1 ~22 impulses/sec. A wide range of responses to changes in concentration of the test chemical was observed. The commonest response was a relatively small increase in exitation with increasing concentration beween 1 J.lg and 100).\g on the filter paper in syringe. Adtivity either peaked at 100 $\mug$ and remained virtually saturated at 1000 f19 or tended to decrease at the highest concentration.

The productivity of natural flavors in alfalfa suspension cultures is low partially due to their low solubility. Thus, by formation inclusion complex of cyclodextrin(CD) with flavor compounds enhancement of the productivity of flavor was attempted in this research. we observed that CD formed inclusion complex with flavor compounds by GC/MS analysis. Also, there was indication that CD played a role as an elicitor in alfalfa suspension cultures.

The blueberry gall midge, Dasineura oxycoccana (Johnson) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is an emerging pest on cultivated blueberries in Korea. To develop a sensitive tool for monitoring this pest in blueberry orchards, we compared the attractiveness of host plant volatiles and sex pheromone to D. oxycoccana adults. We performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of solid-phase microextraction (SPME)-collected volatiles that were released from blueberry ('Darrow' cultivar). The analysis revealed two major volatiles, cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl alcohol from flowers; and three major volatiles, β-caryophyllene, germacrene D, and α-farnesene from shoots and young fruits. In field tests conducted in Gunsan, Korea in 2019, commercialized cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-caryophyllene, and α-farnesene, used singly or in quaternary combination, were unattractive to the blueberry gall midge. However, traps baited with the known sex pheromone (2R,14R)-2,14-diacetoxyheptadecane attracted significantly more males than the treatments with plant volatiles or the control. No synergistic effect was observed between sex pheromone and plant volatiles. Male D. oxycoccana were captured in the pheromone traps from May to August, with three peaks in mid-May, late June, and late July in Gunsan blueberry fields in 2020.

The effects of aqueous extract and volatile substances of 2 Angelica plants on seed germination and seedling growth were investigated. The seed germination of Angelica gigas showed increase in proportion to increase in aqueous extract concentration of A. gigas, while that of Angelica acutiloba was reduced proportionally to the extract concentration. The seed germination of A. gigas and A. acutiloba treated with aqueous extract of A. acutiloba was inhibited. The seedling elongation of A. gigas and A. acutiloba was slightly increased at lower concentration of aqueous extract of A. gigas, whereas it was proportionally decreased at higher concentrations. The seedling elongation of 2 Angelica plants was decreased by the aqueous extract of A. acutiloba. The aqueous extract of A. acutiloba caused significant inhibition in seedling growth of 2 Angelica plants. The seed germination of Lactuca sativa was not affected by volatile substances emitted from 2 Angelica plants. The radicle elongation of L. sativa treated with volatile substances of 2 Angelica plants was inhibited slightly and it was not suppressed according to the concentration of volatile substances.

The total amount of monoterpenoids in A. artemisiifolia var. elatior leaves was increased continuously after Apr. and the highest amount was in Jul. The major monoterpenoids in A. artemisiifolia var. elatior leaves were consisted of 29 compounds and were dominated by No. 2, octene, α -pinene, β -myrcene ,1,3,6-octatrine, endo-borneol and (-)-bornyl acetate. The allelopathic effects of A. artemisiifolia var elatior leaves on the roots and shoots elongation of the selected plants were studied and there were significant allelopathic effects. The effects were much different between the selected plants and the effects signifcantly became higher with the quantity of leaves used in the experiment. The Lactuca sativa, Achyranthes japonica, and Oenothera odorta were suffered much higher effects than the other species. The allelopathic effects were also different with the leaves sampled in different seasons and the effects in july were found a little higher than in June and May.

VOCs emissions from industries cause the air pollution and odor. In the industrial facilities, the existing odor treatment techniques have limits and problems. In this study, the optimum essential oil and metal oxide selected by screening test. lavender oil, cypress oil and TiO₂ were determined by deodorant materials and those were blended by 5%, 45%, 10%, respectively. In addition, the result of batch type experiments depending on the dilution rate, injection, rate, temperature showed that the optimum condition of deodorant is 6 mL of injection rate, and 200 times of dilution rate and the removal efficiency increased in proportion with temperature. In addition, the activation energy was calculated from the rate equation, which appeared in the 3-4 times lower than conventional deodorants.

반 휘발성 유기화합물(Semivolatile organic compounds; 이하 SOCs)은 높은 중기압과 낮은 반응성 때문에 지구 전역에 폭넓게 존재하고 있다. SOCs중 Polychlorinatd Biphenyls(이하 PCBs)는 난분해성 및 친지질성에 특성으로 환경중에서 순환하기 때문에 최근 들어 맡은 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이들 대부분은 태초의 환경과 모든 matrix(예, 토양, 식물, 대기, 수계 등)에서 발견되어 지고 있다 이처럼 PCBs는 독성 유발물질로 관리되고 있으며 먹이연쇄를 통해 생농축성(bioaccumulation)을 야기 시킬 수 있다.

This study was to investigate the changes of phytotoxicity of food waste during composting at an aerated static pile for 80 days. The concentration of sodium in the final compost increased by more than 30% and almost of the sodium was a water soluble type which corresponds to about 94% of the total concentration. Major volatile fatty acid(VFA) produced during the composting was acetic acid and also somewhat of butyric acid. High concentration of acetic acid during the composting was kept up for a month and then decreased progressively. It suggests that the phytotoxicity by the VFAs produced during composting of food waste could be removed through a stabilization process in a period of about 40 days. From the statistical analysis between germination index(G.I.) and VFAs. or G.I. and sodium, the phytotoxicity of food waste samples was more dependent in the changes of acetic acid concentration than that of sodium concentration. Considering low G.I. value in the final food waste compost which is matured completely, however. the agricultural utilization of the food waste compost may be to have a big problem due to excess sodium of the compost which is impossible to remove by composting and seriously inhibits growth of plants.
