Motivate the production of pharmaceutical compounds in Ocimum basilicum by magnetic phosphorus solution and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Vegetable production by using of physical methods as a way to increase the quantity and quality of crops are considered. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of magnetic field (G), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (M) and phosphorus (P) concentration in the nutrient solution (0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg L-1) on the fresh weight, antioxidant enzymes activity, production of phenolic compounds and essential oil components of basil plants. The experiment was designed as a factorial combination and treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replicates. Treatment of basil plants with G, M and P led to increase of the plant growth, carotenoid contents (CAR), antioxidant activity, antioxidant enzyme contents such as catalase (CAT) and proxidase (POD) as well as decrease in phenol and flavonoid compounds content. Methyl chavicol, methyl eugenol and sesquiterpenes like α–bisabolene, α-humulene and caryophyllene content was increased by magnetic P solution and mycorrhizal fungi colonization. Therefore, magnetic P solution and M potentially represent natural ways of promoting growth and motivate the production of pharmaceutical compounds in this important medicinal herb.
