“…Bona et al (2017) carried out on-farm experiments testing AMF and plant-growth-promoting bacteria; both types of microorganisms positively affected flower and fruit production and concentrations of sugars and vitamins in tomato fruits.. Another on-farm experiment with tomato showed that the joint inoculation of AM fungi and plant-growth-promoting bacteria in tomato allowed a 30% reduction in chemical fertilizers, with an increase in fruit quality, specifically size, sweetness, and concentration of molecules such as citrate, ascorbate, and carotenoids (Bona et al, 2018). Other works have reported gains in yield and quality in horticultural crops, including strawberries (Castellanos-Morales et al, 2010), onions (Mollavali et al, 2016), grapes (Torres et al, 2018), and aromatic herbs (Geneva et al, 2010;Zayova et al, 2018).…”

Background: Passiflora cincinnata Mast. is used in family farming due to its easy cultivation and pathogens resistance. Moreover, in its leaves are produced secondary metabolites that confer anxiolytic properties to the species. However, these biomolecules are produced at low concentrations, making it necessary to search for alternatives that increase the production of these compounds, such as the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and coconut coir dust in the cultivation substrate. This study aimed to select the efficient AMF and coir dust proportion in enhancing the production of foliar metabolites in P. cincinnata.Results: Plants cultivated in substrates with one-third coconut coir dust and inoculated with Acaulospora longula Spain and N.C. Schenck concentrated more total phenols (91.39%), total tannins (147.47%), and total saponins (151.41%) in comparison to noninoculated seedlings. Furthermore, seedlings inoculated with A. longula and grown without coconut coir dust produced more flavonoids than the other treatments. Conclusion:The combined application of AMF and one-third of coir dust is an option to optimize the production of metabolites of interest in P. cincinnata, constituting an alternative for phytomass supply to the anxiolytic herbal medicines industries based on Passiflora.

“…This investigation also reports T. vulgaris , with BF > 1 for most of the elements, as a metal accumulator. The enhanced antioxidant capacity, mainly due to increased accumulation of phenolic compounds, most likely confers protection against the toxic influence of metals to this species (Petrović et al 2015 ; Zayova et al 2018 ). The highest median BF indicating intensive accumulation for the species growing in geothermal and control areas was found for Ti and Mn for C. vulgaris , Ti and Cr for E. nigrum and F. vivipara and Ti and Zn for T. praecox.…”

This investigation was conducted to identify the content of metals in Calluna vulgaris (family Ericaceae), Empetrum nigrum (family Ericaceae), Festuca vivipara (family Poaceae) and Thymus praecox subsp. arcticus (family Lamiaceae), as well as in the soils where they were growing in eight geothermal heathlands in Iceland. Investigation into the vegetation of geothermal areas is crucial and may contribute to their proper protection in the future and bring more understanding under what conditions the plants respond to an ecologically more extreme situation. Plants from geothermally active sites were enriched with metals as compared to the same species from non-geothermal control sites (at an average from about 150 m from geothermal activity). The enriched metals consisted of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe and Ni in C. vulgaris; Cd, Mn and Ti in E. nigrum; Hg and Pb in F. vivipara; and Cd, Fe and Hg in T. praecox. Notably, C. vulgaris, E. nigrum, F. vivipara and T. praecox had remarkably high concentrations of Ti at levels typical of toxicity thresholds. Cd and Pb (except for C. vulgaris and F. vivipara) were not accumulated in the shoots of geothermal plants. C. vulgaris from geothermal and control sites was characterised by the highest bioaccumulation factor (BF) of Ti and Mn; E. nigrum and F. vivipara by the highest BF of Ti and Cr; and T. praecox by the highest BF of Ti and Zn compared to the other elements. In comparison with the other examined species, F. vivipara from geothermal sites had the highest concentration of Ti in above-ground parts at any concentration of plant-available Ti in soil.
