| Abstract: | Thymus vulgaris of family Lamiaceae is one of the most plants in pharmacy industries. In this study effect of Piriformospora indica and Sebacina vermifera on growth and development plant, yield and composition of the essential oil in a completely randomized design were evaluated in vitro and in pot culture experiments. Plants were studied by means of plant height, shoot fresh and dry weights, number of shoots, root length, root fresh and dry weights and essential oil analyses. The oil was extracted from the dry matter of shoots by hydro distillation, and their composition was determined by GC/MS. In vitro and in vivo cultures showed that plant height and root length increased in pots inoculated with S. vermifera and P. indica. Maximum fresh and dry weight (shoot and root), number of shoots were observed in pots inoculated with P. indica. In thyme inoculated with S. vermifera and P. indica oil yield increased as compared to non-inoculated control plants. GC and GC/MS revealed that the level of thymol was enhanced as the effect of S. vermifera and P. indica. |
