Promising many societal benefits, emergent products of biotechnology involve releasing genetically modified microbes (GMMs) into the environment.However, regulatory challenges limit their use.So far, GMMs have mainly been tested in agriculture and environmental cleanup, with few approved for commercial purposes.Current government regulations inadequately address modern genetic engineering potential gut therapeutics, skin products, self-repairing materials, ocean pollution treatment,...

When disrupted by stimuli such as herbivory, pathogenic infection, or mechanical wounding, plants secrete signals root exudates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The emission of VOCs induces a response in the neighboring plant communities can improve fitness alerting nearby an impending threat prompting them to alter their physiology for defensive purposes. In this study, we investigated role plant-derived signals, released result that may play intraspecific communication between...
