“…However, higher responses in SDM accumulation resulted from AMF inoculation, which doubled the SDM values in comparison with the control (without AMF and HS) ( Table 3). This result corroborates with the studies of Khaosaad et al (2006) and Karagiannidis et al (2011). The authors observed a significant increase (2 to 4.7 times) in the dry mass production of mint and oregano plants when submitted to AMF inoculation.…”

ABSTRACT. Mycorrhizal association increases the absorption of water and nutrients by plants, and thus, affects their metabolism. This study aimed at assessing the single and conjoint effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Claroideoglomus etunicatum and soil's humic substances (HS) on the composition of essential oil (EO), its antimicrobial activity, and development of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 2-factorial design (with and without AMF and HS) with 10 replications as follows: T1 -without AMF inoculation and without HS addition; T2 -with AMF inoculation and with HS (2 L/ha); T3 -without AMF inoculation and with HS; T4 -with AMF inoculation and with HS. Plants were grown in pots with 5 kg sterile soil in a greenhouse for 6 months. Then, they were harvested and evaluated for spore density, AMF root colonization, shoot dry matter (SDM), yield and chemical composition of EO as well as minimum inhibitory concentration, used to compare the antimicrobial effect of EO in nine bacteria. The addition of HS to the soil increased the spore density of AMF and SDM (P < 0.001). The AMF inoculation with and without HS increased the EO yield of basil (P < 0.001). The treatments altered the composition of the basil EO, in which a total of fourteen compounds were detected. In treatments with AMF and/or HS, linalool (28.64 to 42.94%) and estragole (27.53 to 47.17%) were the major compounds. However, in the control (without AMF and HS), eugenol (33.90%) was the major compound. The EO showed low microbial activity against bacteria Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enterica serovar typhi, Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Xanthomonas axonopodis pathovar begoniae. AMF inoculation and HS addition could improve the development of basil, increase EO yield, alter the EO chemical composition and its major compounds, but presented low or none microbial activity against most of the bacteria tested in this study.

“…Likewise, mycorrhizal oregano (Origanum vulgare) showed a chemical profile of essential oils which was comparable to that of control plants, with carvacrol as the main compound (Morone Fortunato and Avato 2008). In contrast, Karagiannidis et al (2011) found that AM fungal colonization increases the contents and changes the composition of essential oils in oregano (Origanum onites) and mint (Menta viridis). Geneva et al (2010) also observed that AM formation in S. officinalis changes the composition of essential oils, and promotes the relative quantities of bornylacetate, 1,8-cineole, α-thujones and β-thujones.…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and active ingredients of medicinal plants: current research status and prospectives

et al. 2013

Medicinal plants have been used world-wide for thousands of years and are widely recognized as having high healing but minor toxic side effects. The scarcity and increasing demand for medicinal plants and their products have promoted the development of artificial cultivation of medicinal plants. Currently, one of the prominent issues in medicinal cultivation systems is the unstable quality of the products. Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) affects secondary metabolism and the production of active ingredients of medicinal plants and thus influence the quality of herbal medicines. In this review, we have assembled, analyzed, and summarized the effects of AM symbioses on secondary metabolites of medicinal plants. We conclude that symbiosis of AM is conducive to favorable characteristics of medicinal plants, by improving the production and accumulation of important active ingredients of medicinal plants such as terpenes, phenols, and alkaloids, optimizing the composition of different active ingredients in medicinal plants and ultimately improving the quality of herbal materials. We are convinced that the AM symbiosis will benefit the cultivation of medicinal plants and improve the total yield and quality of herbal materials. Through this review, we hope to draw attention to the status and prospects of, and arouse more interest in, the research field of medicinal plants and mycorrhiza.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis for Sustainable Cultivation of Chinese Medicinal Plants: A Promising Research Direction

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) are symbiotic systems in nature and have great significance in promoting the growth and stress resistance of medicinal plants. During our literature searchfrom the Chinese Scientific Information Database (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, CNKI) we obtained 65 articles with "AM fungi" and "medicinal plant" as the key words, which indicates that in China, research efforts on these topics have been increasing. The main purposes of this review are to discuss the effects of mycorrhiza on the active ingredients of Chinese medicinal plants in comparison with results obtained in other plants in studies conducted by the international research community, and to introduce works published in Chinese journals to international colleagues.
