About

    The volatilome is a relatively new area of research that focuses on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by organisms, such as plants, animals, and microbes. These compounds can serve as chemical signals, communication cues, or indicators of health and environmental conditions. Studying the volatilome can provide valuable insights into plant-microbe interactions, disease detection, environmental monitoring, and even human health. Researchers use various techniques, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, to analyze and identify the specific VOCs present in different organisms. By understanding the volatilome, scientists can better understand the complex interactions and mechanisms at play in natural and synthetic environments.
