Influence of <i>Pseudomonas</i> sp. NEEL19 Expelled Volatile Compounds on Growth and Development of Crop Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: This research intended to investigate the airborne chemical communication that occurs via volatile substances released by phyllosphere-associated bacteria, and it has been investigated whether it is beneficial to plants. The composition of halotolerant Pseudomonas sp. NEEL19 volatiles and impact on mung bean and fenugreek growth and metabolism were examined through co-culture in PPD. NEEL19 volatile mixtures (NEEL19 V⁺) enhanced the shoot and root length and chlorophyll content of mung bean under different saline conditions on short-term exposure. In particular, total chlorophyll a + b showed percentage increases of 58.15%, 67.00%, and 29.5% at 0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl, respectively. Furthermore, fenugreek seedlings' biomass, shoot length, and chlorophyll content significan
