Biogenic volatile organic compounds(BVOCs)are important secondary metabolites involved in plant growth and development,and play crucial roles in resisting biotic and abiotic stresses.However,due to the diverse types and complex synthesis,people's current understanding of BVOCs mainly focused on the basic physiological level research,and the macroscopic summary of their roles in environmental information ex-change was lack.From the perspective of BVOCs information exchange function,this article provided a brief o-verview of the current research status in terms of their biological information exchange and perception mecha-nisms within and outside plants(plant-plant,plant-grazing animals,plant-pathogens and plant-pollinators).It also looked forward to the future research directions and proposed to shift the experimental environment from indoor to field,conduct in-depth research on BVOCs perception systems,and use molecular biology tech-niques to selectively evolve BVOCs related genes.The aim was to provide scientific bases for exploring the in-formation exchange function of BVOCs,studying the perception system of plant release and reception of BVOCs,and the application of BVOCs in agricultural production.
