Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi action on the quality of strawberry fruits

Abstract

The inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), increasing the rhizospheric influence, might provide higher levels of bioactive compounds. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the influence of the AMF inoculation on the physicochemical components of fruit’s quality in field. Strawberry fruits from cultivars Camarosa, Aromas, Camino Real, Monterey, Portola, San Andreas and Albion in 2016, and Camarosa, Camino Real, Monterey and Albion in 2017 were either inoculated or non-inoculated with AMF. The analyzed physicochemical components of fruit’s quality were ascorbic acid, titrated acidity, pH, soluble solids, soluble solids/titrated acidity ratio, phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, and firmness. The inoculation with AMF on strawberry plants in field improved the fruit’s physicochemical attributes, increasing pH, soluble solids content, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio and phenolic compounds content in both cultivation years (2016-2017). The inoculation of AMF has improved the characteristics of post-harvest quality in strawberry fruits.

Selection of Experimental Hybrids of Strawberry Using Multivariate Analysis

“…The concentration of anthocyanin pigments was determined based on extract volume and sample mass [22], according to the equation At = (∆A × MW × f × 100) ε × 1, where At is the anthocyanin being expressed in mg pelargonidin-3-glycoside 100 g −1 pulp, ∆A is the difference of absorbance (ApH 1.0 − ApH 4.5), MW is the pelargonidin-3-glycoside molecular weight (433.3), f is the dilution factor, and ε is the molar absorptivity coefficient (27300).…”

Tecnologia Micorrízica Como Bioinsumo Para Produção De Compostos Fenólicos De Importância À Indústria De Fitomedicamentos

“…Most of these studies reported the optimization in the production of molecules, due to AMF inoculation, in leaves, roots and, rhizomes (Lamian, Badi, Mehrafarin, & Sahandi, 2017;Yang et al, 2017), there are few reports on flowers and fruits (Kapoor et al, 2002a,b;Zen et al, 2013;Hristozkova et al, 2016;Cordeiro et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2020). Moreover, the biomolecules production, such as phenols, in response to symbiosis, is associated with different mechanisms (Figure 1 Phenolics: Grandmaison et al, 1993;Peipp et al, 1997;Larose et al, 2002;Freitas et al, 2004;Krishna et al, 2005;Soares et al, 2005;Antunes et al, 2006;Scervino et al, 2006;Toussaint et al, 2007;Carlsen et al, 2008;Halvorson & Gonzalez, 2008;Jaiti et al, 2008;Khaosaad et al, 2008;Perner et al, 2008;Rajeshkumar et al, 2008;Ruiz-Téran et al, 2008;Schlienann et al, 2008;Lattanzio et al, 2009;Lee & Scagel, 2009;Ponce et al, 2009;Selvaraj et al, 2009;Andrade et al, 2010;Castellanos-Morales et al, 2010;Ceccarelli et al, 2010;Damoradan et al, 2010;Geneva et al, 2010;Nisha & Rajeshkumar, 2010;Singh et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010;Zubeck et al, 2010;Abdell-Fattah et al, 2011;Baslam et al, 2011;…”

“…Most of the studies were conducted in a greenhouse, existing only five experiments in field conditions; from those, four used different parts of the mycorrhizal L. Ferrea: one with leaves (Silva et al, 2014b), two using the bark of the stem (Santos et al, 2017;Silva et al, 2018b) and with fruits (Santos et al, 2020). A recent study with strawberry plants were reported by Cordeiro et al (2019).…”

“…Among the compounds studied, the phenolic group deserves emphasis, that had the highest quantity of recorded research in this subject (Parada et al, 2019;Cruz et al, 2020;Santos et al, 2020). It is worth noting that different parts of the plants, such as leaves (Urchoviche et al, 2015), flowers (Lazzara et al, 2017), roots (Mechri et al, 2015) and fruits (Cordeiro et al, 2019) had the metabolites production optimized by AMF inoculation In this context, this review aimed to compile the studies that reported the mycorrhizal symbiosis benefits in optimize the production of phenolic compounds with therapeutic potential, highlighting those developed in Brazil.…”

Calidad y almacenamiento de frutos de papaya procedentes de plantas inoculadas con Glomus mosseae

“…El uso de los HMA tiene un efecto significativo en el rendimiento de diferentes cultivos, algunos estudios muestran su influencia en la calidad de fruto. Por ejemplo, en frutos de diferentes cultivares de fresa (Fragaria x ananassa), la inoculación de plantas con HMA resultó en un incremento en el índice sólidos solubles totales/acidez y compuestos fenólicos (Cordeiro et al, 2019), en chile ancho (Capsicum annuum L. cv San Luis) incrementaron el tamaño, color y contenido de pigmentos (Mena-Violante et al, 2006) y en papaya incrementó el contenido de azucares, firmeza y color (Vázquez-Hernández et al, 2011).…”
