Application:	Volatile organic compounds of the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans suppress pathogens and elicit defense-responsive genes in plants.: This study explores the role of volatile organic compounds, including 2,3-Hexanedione, produced by Bacillus halotolerans. It demonstrates how these compounds suppress pathogenic microbes and induce defense genes in plants, suggesting potential applications in biocontrol and agriculture (Rana et al., 2024 ).
General description:	2,3-Hexanedione is a α-diketone flavoring agent reported in African star fruit, frozen and dried scallops.
