| Resumo: | We studied the effect of Rhizophagus irregularis on plant performance and volatile terpenes content of the Mexic an native medicinal plant Satureja macrostema (Benth.) Briq. (Lamiaceae) in greenhouse conditions. The growth parameters considered in this research and the composition of volatile components were quantified monthly in mycorrhizal and non - mycorrhizal plant s. The essential oil was collected from aerial parts and analyzed by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Colonization by R. irregularis significantly increased biomass, shoot and root length, and the amount of volatile terpenes. The more concentrated vol atile terpenes were limonene, β - linalool, menthone, pulegone, and verbenol acetate. It is concluded that the use of R. irregularis allows optimal growth of S. macrostema plants in low fertility soils and increased production of the main components of the e ssential oil. |
