A bibliometric analysis of fungal volatile organic compounds

Fungi release distinctive smells made up of volatile compounds that help them communicate with plants, bacteria, and other organisms. These fungal smell chemicals have grown from being studied mainly in wine fermentation to being explored for helping crops grow better, fighting plant diseases naturally, and creating food flavors without chemicals. This research shows that understanding how fungi use these smell chemicals could lead to more sustainable farming practices and natural alternatives to harmful pesticides.
