“…The dry leaves produced a higher 1.02% yield. Therefore, it is important to indicate the extraction method, plant age, and moisture content in order to explain the variable EO content in different studies (Ade-Ademilua et al, 2013; Lermen et al, 2015;Urcoviche et al, 2015;Linde et al, 2016).…”

“…It is known that the soil composition, both chemical and organic, is directly connected to the EO composition owing to the variability of macro-and micro-nutrients available to the plants. Factors such as climate, water availability, crop season, geographic location, and incidence of pathogens can influence the production of chemical compounds of EOs (Ade-Ademilua et al, 2013;Lermen et al, 2015;Urcoviche et al, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. Ocimum gratissimum L. or clove basil, belongs to the Lamiaceae family, has various desirable uses and applications. Beyond its aromatic, seasoning, and medicinal applications, this plant also has antimicrobial activity. This study was aimed at assessing the antifungal activity, yield, and composition of the essential oil (EO) of O. gratissimum. The species was cultivated in garden beds with dystrophic red latosol soil type containing high organic-matter content. The EO was obtained by hydrodistillation of dried leaves in a modified Clevenger apparatus, followed by determination of its content. Chemical characterization was carried out by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Microbial activity was assessed using the broth microdilution method, by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), in order to compare the antimicrobial effect of EO in 10 isolates-Fusarium oxysporum f. sp tracheiphilum (CMM-0033), F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense (CMM-0813 and CMM-2819), F. oxysporum f. sp lycopersici (CMM-1104), F. solani (CMM-3828), Rhizoctonia solani (CMM-3274), and Macrophomina phaseolina (CMM-2715, CMM-3875, CMM-3615, and CMM-3650). The EO was a highly effective inhibitor of the studied phytopathogenic fungi, with MICs varying from 31.25 to 125 µg/mL. F. oxysporum f. sp lycopersici and R. solani were the most sensitive; both were inhibited at an MIC of 31.25 µg/mL. The EO content in the plant extract was 0.18%. Thirty chemical compounds were detected via GC-MS, with linalool (32.9%) being the major compound followed by 1,8-cineole (21.9%), both oxygenated monoterpenes. It can be concluded that clove basil EO is a highly effective antifungal agent, and therefore, a potential alternative for the control of plant pathogenic diseases.

“…Stable oil composition and high amount of its active components are a market prerequisite for medicinal, spice, and aromatic plants. However, such requirements depend on the farming system and environment (Urcoviche et al, 2015;Hanif et al, 2017;Mohr et al, 2017;Lermen et al, 2017).…”

“…Plants should be well nourished and resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses. These crops should produce large amounts of biomass and medicinal substances inherent to the species without the need for supplements and/or agrochemicals (Urcoviche et al, 2015;Lermen et al, 2017). The use of soil microorganisms, as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), is an alternative to increase the productivity of this type of plants since AMF contribute to a better development of them (Zubek et al, 2012;Befrozfar et al, 2013;Lermen et al, 2015a, Verma et al, 2016.…”

“…There are few studies on mycorrhization with medicinal, spicy, and aromatic plants. Some of them have already demonstrated that mycorrhizae promote in plants an increase in the absorption of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen, an improvement in growth and an increase in the production of secondary metabolites with medicinal and antimicrobial activities (Zubek et al, 2012;Lermen et al, 2015b;Urcoviche et al, 2015;Verma et al, 2016). Few studies are found in the literature on the effects of AMF inoculation on the growth and production of essential oil (EO) of basil.…”

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.

The present paper highlights the effect of Pb/Cd‐stress and/or mycorrhizal colonization by Glomus Intraradices on yield, chemical composition, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of Mentha x piperita L. essential oil. Our findings showed that mycorrhizal colonization could be used to improve the essential oil yield of M. x piperita, either in non‐stressed or Pb/Cd‐stressed plants. GC–MS analysis revealed three chemotypes: linalool/pulegone (32.6/30.8%) chemotype in essential oils of non‐mycorrhizal Pb‐stressed plants, menthone/menthyl acetate (30.3/25.1%) chemotype in essential oils of non‐mycorrhizal Cd‐stressed plants and menthol (44.6%) chemotype in essential oils of non‐mycorrhizal non‐stressed plants, mycorrhizal non‐stressed plants and mycorrhizal Pb/Cd‐stressed plants. The cytotoxicity of M. x piperita essential oil, evaluated by brine shrimp lethality bioassay, was increased in presence of Pb/Cd‐stress (from 379.58 to 72.84 µm/mL) and decreased in mycorrhizal plants (from 379.58 to 482.32 µm/mL). The antimicrobial activity of M. x piperita essential oil, evaluated by disc diffusion method and determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration against ten microorganisms, was enhanced by the mycorrhizal colonization and deceased by the Pb/Cd‐stress. In conclusion, the inoculation of medicinal plants with mycorrhizal fungi is a real avenue for alleviating abiotic stress and/or increasing the quantity and quality of secondary metabolites in terms of biological activities.
