effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi on essential oil content and nutrients uptake in basil under drought stress

Authors
abstract

study the effects of inoculation with two arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi, gm (glomus mosseae t.h. nicolson & gerd.)gerd & trappe) and gi (glomus intraradices  n.c. schenck & g.s. sm.) on the  herb yield, essential oil (eo) content and nutrient acquisition of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) under drought stress conditions,the experiment conducted with 9 treatments and 4 replications. drought stress treatments were applied by increasing the irrigation intervals from 4 days to 8 and 12 days. the root colonization, dry matter yield, oil content, oil yield and nutrients uptake decreased as the irrigation intervals increased. the am fungi inoculation significantly increased the dry matter yield, oil content, oil yield and uptake of n, k, zn, fe and cu as compared to nm (non-mycorrhizal) plants in both well-watered and drought stressed condition. analysis of essential oil by gc and gc/ms showed that linalool, (e)-β-ocimene, eugenol and (z, e)-farnesol, main components of oil, had no significant variation by drought stress or am fungi inoculation. the effect of am fungi inoculation on herb yield, oil content, oil yield and nutrient acquisition was more significant with g. mosseae than g. intraradices. results suggest that inoculation of am fungi could be a feasible procedure to increase growth, yield and essential oil production under water deficit conditions.

Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Growth and Nutrient Uptake of Apple Rootstocks in Calcareous Soil

The effects of three Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) species (Glomus versiforme, Claroideoglomus etunicatum and Rhizophagus intraradices) were studied on the growth parameters and nutrient uptake of three apple rootstocks (M.9, M.7 and MM.106). The soil medium contained a high level of calcium carbonate (38.65%). The results showed that AMF inoculation could increase almost all growth parame...

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on wheat growth, physiology, nutrition and cadmium uptake under increasing cadmium stress

A pot culture experiment was carried out to study the alterations in growth, biochemical activities and cadmium (Cd) uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum) inoculated with or without arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in sterilized soil with addition of different Cd levels (0, 100, 300, 600 mg.kg_1). In Mycorrhizal (M) plants, root colonization rates were significantly lower with the addition of hi...

Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) Fungi in Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated: A Review

Pollution of the soil environment with toxic materials from fossil burning, mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, disposal of sewage, fertilizers and pesticides, etc. has increased dramatically since the onset of industrial revolution. Application of plants with ability of absorbing heavy metals is a low-cost alternative for eliminating soils from heavy metals. Phytoremediation uses plants...
