Mycorrhiza is regarded essential for plant growth, especially in regions where precipitation and nutrient availability are low. Hundreds of aromatic plant species, which contain essential oils, are growing naturally around the Mediterranean. The plant essential oils are known for their antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the aromaticLaurus nobilis, abundant in the Mediterranean region, can influence the development of two mycorrhizal species,Glomus deserticolaandGlomus intraradices, and how this effect can influence the growth of the host plant. The major compounds ofL. nobilisessential oil were 1.8 cineole, sabinene, α-pinene, eugenole, α-terpinyl acetate, and β-pinene. Both mycorrhizal fungi colonized successfully the host plants, positively influencing their growth.G. deserticolapresented higher infection level thanG. intraradices.Addition ofL. nobilisoil into substrates resulted in mycorrhiza inhibition, and the level of inhibition was analogous with the amount of added essential oil. The fungi were benefited by the aromatic compounds up to 15 mg of essential oil per L of soil. However, 30 and 60 mg L-1of essential oil were able to create significant inhibition in mycorrhiza development and to restrict the host growth. Since the presence -of aromatics in the Mediterranean region could create such ecological problems, the elimination of aromatic plant litter before reforestation is suggested, to give the opportunity for mycorrhiza establishment and successful development of new plants.

Prasium majus L. (Labiatae, Lamioideae) is considered a typical non-aromatic plant. In this work we examined the glandular trichomes present on leaves and inflorescences and the essential oils of plants growing along the Tuscan coast of Italy. The micromorphological study evidenced different types of trichomes responsible for the essential oil production. The essential oil compositions of leaves and flowers were analyzed by GC/MS and are here reported.
