Bailly Aurélien

Dr. Aurélien Bailly is affiliated with the University of Zurich in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology. His research focuses on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as signaling molecules in plant-microbe communication, particularly in mediating growth and immune responses.

Research Interests

• Molecular mechanisms of VOC-mediated cross-kingdom signaling
• Plant perception of bacterial volatiles
• Trade-offs between growth and immunity via phytohormones
• Functional characterization of microbial VOC bouquets

Publication Trends highlight work on Arabidopsis thaliana and rhizobacteria, with emphasis on auxin transport, systemic resistance, and biocontrol strategies. His articles span disciplines including microbial ecology, plant physiology, and chemical biology.
