Effect of Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Fungicide Application on the Secondary Metabolism of Solanum tuberosum Leaves.

ABSTRACT: In potato (Solanum tuberosum) crops, the use of fungicides to control some diseases is widespread; however, it has been reported that this practice can modify the potato polyphenolic content, and new strategies oriented to the potato defense system are necessary. One alternative is the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to improve the defense mechanisms of plants. In this study, phenolic profiles and antioxidant activities in leaves of three potato genotypes (CB2011-509, CB2011-104, and VR808) were evaluated in crops inoculated with three AMF strains (Claroideoglomus claroideum, Claroideoglomus lamellosum, and Fumneliformis mosseae) and with AMF in combination with the use of two commercial fungicides (MONCUT [M] and ReflectXtra [R]). Eight phenolic compounds were detected, mainly h
