This e-book summarizes recent advances in the young and rapidly developing field of microbial volatiles. Articles included here reveal novel information about the chemical diversity of bacterial and fungal volatiles, their functions, their roles in inter-specific and inter-kingdom interactions and the metabolic and physiological changes their exposure causes in the target organisms. The e-book is divided in three chapters: (1) Natural Functions of Microbial Volatiles; (2) Volatile Production and Ecosystem Functioning and (3) Volatile Detection and Identification.

The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) is known to be a pest of significant economic importance and is widely dispersed in Chile. Nowadays, the pest management is oriented to a limited utilisation of synthetic insecticides and by this way avoid the development of insect resistances. There are many alternatives to achieve this objective such as the biological control. The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil organism that increase rates of plant growth but which can also have an effect of biological control on pest insects. The objective of this thesis is to assess if the PGPR-induced plant defence’s has an effect on different APA populations (Acyrthosiphon pisum with alfalfa host-plant). The population parameters, and the feeding behaviour were studied. Moreover, the plant responses were also measured (hormone profile analysis, and photosynthesis and morphological parameters). For all the experiments, broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants were previously inoculated with the PGPR Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42. Seven-days inoculated plants were infested with the two clones of APA, different between them by the occurrence of the secondary endosymbiont Hamiltonella defensa. At the end of all experiments, it was highlighted that the aphid without the secondary endosymbiont seems to be negatively impacted by the PGPR. Contrary, the clone with the endosymbiont seems to be, in a first time, favoured by this Bacillus but this effect did not remain until the end of the experiment.

In the past few decades, awareness of the basic role that endophytic fungi play in shaping the fitness of both wild and crop plants has increased significantly. The number of papers on the subject is so large that it is becoming difficult to have a complete overview of the state-of-the-art with reference to specific crops. In the absence of readily available documents providing circumstantial information on the endophytic assemblage of plants, the isolation of a certain fungal species may appear to be occasional or trivial; hence, many important findings are at risk of going unnoticed. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of papers dealing with the occurrence and functions of endophytic fungi in crop species. It may represent a useful tool for stakeholders in this particular research field, with a view to stimulating a more thorough consideration of the opportunities deriving from their discoveries.
