SGER: Ecological Effects of Plant-Generated Organic Sulfide Emissions

某些植物通过根部分泌有机硫化物。 在纯净状态下，许多硫化物具有抑菌作用， 杀真菌、杀线虫和杀虫特性。 不 已知植物是否排放足够量的硫化物， 在自然系统中有这些影响。 私家侦探的意志 研究这些化合物的系统发育分布， 确定它们的产生是否对植物有影响 社区 如果植物将硫化物纳入其整体 反应库，效果可能是实质性的， 对这一现象的理解可能会极大地改变未来 调查社区和生态系统的关系。

Certain plants exude organic sulfides through their roots. In their pure state, many of these sulfides have bacteriostatic, fungicidal, nematicidal, and insecticidal properties. It is not known whether plants emit sufficient amounts of the sulfides to have these effects in natural systems. The P.I.'s will investigate the phylogenetic distribution of these compounds and determine whether their production has effects on the plant community. If plants do incorporate sulfides into their overall response repertoire, the effect could be substantial and an understanding of the phenomenon could significantly alter future investigations of community and ecosystem relationships.
