Microbial VOCs affect the morphology and physiology of phytopathogens. Through diverse approaches, it is possible to understand the changes that microbial VOCs cause in phytopathogens. Microscopy analyses revealed changes in the morphology of the colonies, loss of intracellular components, vacuolization, and cell rupture. In addition, omics-approaching studies have shown that many genes and proteins are up-and downregulated under the effects of VOCs, thus interfering with several important metabolic pathways, such as carbon metabolism and oxidative stress. GLU, glucose; SOD, superoxide dismutase; ABC, ATP-binding cassette; CAZymes, carbohydrate-activated enzymes; CE, carbohydrate esterases; GH, glycosyl hydrolases; PL, polysaccharide lyases; AA, auxiliary activities.
