Volatiles of two growth-inhibiting rhizobacteria commonly enroll AtWRKY18 function

Volatiles of certain rhizobacteria can cause growth inhibitory effects on plants/ Arabidopsis thaliana. How these effects are initiated and which mechanisms are enrolled is not yet understood. Obviously the plant can survive/live with the bacteria in the soil, which suggest the existance of a regulatory mechanism/network that provide the possibility for coexistance with the bacteria. To shed light on this regulatory mechanism/network we performed a microarray anlaysis of Arabidopsis thaliana co-cultivated with two different rhizobacteria strains.
