Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal fungi and/or amino acid treatment increased leaf number, leaf area and dry weight of basil compared with control.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal fungi and/or amino acid treatment increased root length, dry mass and root numbers of basil compared with control.
- Intervention effect The treatments in M, AA and M-AA groups induced PAL enzyme activity in basil.
- Intervention effect The treatments in M, AA and M-AA groups raised phenolic contents in basil.
- Intervention effect The treatments in M, AA and M-AA groups significantly intensified essential oil contents in basil.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal fungi and/or amino acid application significantly increased soluble carbohydrate contents in basil root tissues.
- Intervention effect Thousand grain weights of basil in M, AA and M-AA samples were significantly higher than in control.
