Zusammenfassung:The invention provides novel methods of suppressing fungal infection or disease in plants and plant tissue, by exposing or treating plants with an effective amount of one or more volatile organic compounds. The invention also provides novel methods of inhibiting melanin production or pigmentation in phytopathogenic fungi, including fungi causing disease in rice, including fungi causing Rice Blast Disease. The invention further provides novel volatile organic compounds that are bacteria-derived or synthetic equivalents or counterparts of bacteria-derived volatile organic compounds.
