“…Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungal colonization has been shown to enhance the production of triterpenoids (Akiyama and Hayashi, 2002), apocarotenoids (Klingner et al, 1995;Fester et al, 2002;Strack and Fester, 2006;Akiyama, 2007;Walter and Strack, 2011) and abscisic acid (Meixner et al, 2005) in roots of various plants. Systemic effects of AM on the quantity and quality of terpenoids in above-ground parts of plants have also been mooted (Kapoor et al, 2002a, b;Copetta et al, 2006;Khaosaad et al, 2006;Kapoor et al, 2007;Zubek et al, 2010;Weisany et al, 2015;Rydlov a et al, 2016). These studies have so far been largely confined to the effects of AM on individual components of terpenoids or a suite of terpenoids (essential oil composition) that have pharmaceutical value.…”
