Utilization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for enhancing growth and development as well as production of essential oil in aromatic plants has been increasingly drawing research interest. In order to assess the AMF effects on different aromatic species, an open-field experiment was carried out using Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) and Hyssopus officinalis (hyssop). AMF stimulated the growth of tarragon and lavender plants, whereas hyssop showed a slight developmental slowing; nonetheless, a significant increase in essential oil content in the three species was seen. AMF application increased the biomass of A. dracunculus and H. officinalis by 20-35%. No differences in antioxidant activity and phenolics content were recorded at harvest between the control and AMF-inoculated plants, but the latter showed a significant increase in antioxidant status upon storage at high temperature and humidity compared to the untreated control. The enhancement of abiotic stress resistance during storage in plants inoculated with AMF was the highest in A. dracunculus, and the lowest in H. officinalis, while the untreated control plants showed a significant decrease in phenolics, ascorbic acid and chlorophyll content, as well as antioxidant activity, upon the abiotic stress. AMF inoculation differentially affected the mineral composition, increasing the accumulation of Se, I and Zn in A. dracunculus, and decreasing the levels of heavy metals and Co, Fe, Li, Mn in H. officinalis. Based on the outcome of the present research, AMF inoculation resulted in a significant enhancement of the overall performances of A. dracunculus, L. angustifolia and H. officinalis, and also in the improvement of plant antioxidant status upon storage in stress conditions.

“…Thus, common responses to AM may occur in relation with different plant metabolites, which are connected to general P-controlled pathways [14]. The positive influence of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on certain plant metabolites [15,16] indicates that their application could be used as a strategy of crop biofortification [17] and many researches in the last decade aimed to identify specific effects AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) can have on phytochemicals of economic interest [15,16,[18][19][20]. Remarkably, many metabolite classes are affected by symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi species, and systemic responses have been found in various species from diverse plant families [14].…”

Screening for Changes on Iris germanica L. Rhizomes Following Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Iris germanica L. is an ornamental and medicinal plant used since ancient times for their rhizomes, still utilized today to obtain orris butter highly valued in perfumery. Iris germanica presents special root adaptations, which confers certain tolerance to water and salt stress, making it a good option in the context of the current climate trend. Aim of this study was to prospect the potential for biofortification of rhizomes using commercial arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) application in field conditions for six Iris germanica cultivars. Plants presented Paris-type AM colonization. Rhizome samples collected after nine months from treatment and maturated, presented FT-IR (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) spectra variation between experimental variants. Presence of the main metabolites in rhizome could be confirmed based on literature. Screening focused on two rhizome quality markers: carbohydrates, which influence plant development, and fatty acids, which are extractable from rhizome. Results suggest potential to enhance their accumulation in certain cultivars, such as ‘Pinafore Pink’ following AM application.

“…Work reported by Rivero et al 10 also demonstrated a rearrangement of metabolites but again in mycorrhizal tomato roots. A review article by Pedone-Bonfim et al 34 concluded that, in most situations, the arbuscular mycorrhizal association favors the accumulation of secondary metabolites that can potentially act as bioactive compounds, but it does not mention any analytical results concerning phenolic compounds obtained from the leaves of rosemary plants. Other polyphenols such as rosmanol, rosmarinic acid, genkwanin, D-(−)-quinic acid and cirsimaritin seem to play also an important role in the sample classification.…”

BACKGROUND Rosemary forms an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis with a group of soilborne fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota, which can modify the plant metabolome responsible for the antioxidant capacity and other health beneficial properties of rosemary. RESULTS The effect of inoculating rosemary plants with an AM fungus on their growth via their polyphenolic fingerprinting was evaluated after analyzing leaf extracts from non‐inoculated and inoculated rosemary plants by ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography‐high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐HRMS). Plant growth parameters indicated that mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased plant height and biomass. Chemical modifications in the plant polyphenolic profile distribution were found after a principal components analysis (PCA) loading plots study. Four compounds hosting strong antioxidant properties – ferulic acid, asiatic acid, carnosol, and vanillin – were related to mycorrhizal rosemary plants while caffeic and chlorogenic acids had a higher influence on non‐mycorrhizal plants. CONCLUSION Mycorrhization was found to stimulate growth to obtain a higher biomass of plant leaves in a short time, avoiding chemical fertilization, while analytical results demonstrate that there is an alteration in the distribution of polyphenols in plants colonized by the symbiotic fungus, which can be related to an improvement in nutritional properties with future industrial significance. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
