Mycorrhizal fungi volatiles: determining the fate of plants against stress?
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mycorrhizal fungi represent one of the oldest and most successful symbioses in plant evolution. Communication among mycorrhizal fungi and plants occurs prior to direct contact among them through different and variable biochemical signals, including microRNAs, hormones, small peptides and volatile organic and inorganic compounds. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emerge as key chemical signals that enable the transmission of chemical messages modulating plant and microorganism responses in both below- and above-ground ecosystems. The diversity and concentration of mycorrhizal VOCs will vary depending on the environment and the emitting organism and are usually related to changes in the conformation of root architecture and lateral root formation mediated by auxin and strigolactones. Moreover, the study of the effects of mycorrhizal VOCs in the tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress are still scarce although there are some promising results pointing out to the effect of these VOCs in plant development under osmotic stress conditions, and their properties as antifungal and antibacterial molecules. However, the information regarding the molecular mechanisms involved in mycorrhizal VOCs signaling and their effect on plants remains still elusive. The understanding of VOC-mediated plant-mycorrhizal interactions, together with the technical improvements for their detection and mode of application in the field, will open new avenues for biotechnological crop improvement and management that not only will reduce the dependence on agrochemicals but also fosters soil health and plant resilience.
