TL;DR: It is concluded that inoculation with Glomus intraradices resulted in improved essential oil yield and quality, while combined application of foliar fertilizer and mycorrhizal fungi predominantly enhanced shoot biomass accumulation.

TL;DR: Compared the influence of three mycorrhizal strains over pot marigold development and their contribution to promoting the valuable secondary metabolites accumulation in the condition of heavy metal (Cd and Pb) pollution, the tested strains stimulated the accumulation of important secondary metabolites in pot marIGold flowers and enhanced the antioxidant capacity.

TL;DR: The obtained results demonstrated that the dual inoculation of pea plants significantly increased the plant biomass, photosynthetic rate, nodulation, and nitrogen fixation activity in comparison with single inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.

TL;DR: An efficient in vitro protocol for propagation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is described, characterized by high levels of water-soluble antioxidant capacity, phenols, and flavonoids, and therefore by high total antioxidant potential, expressed as DPPH radical scavenging activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Cd, Pb, and Zn uptake on plant morphology, photosynthetic parameters, antioxidant potential, and essential oil yield and quality in Ocimum basilicum L. and Origanum vulgare L were evaluated.
