Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of endophytic fungi on the accumulation and physiological-biochemical characteristics of essential oil in Cinnamomum longepaniculatum. The essential oil of C. longepaniculatum was extracted after spraying four endophytic fungi spore suspension(2J1、3J1、5J2、YB)on the leaves separately,and the content of 1,8-cineole and α-terpineol was determined by GC-MS. The results showed that the content of essential oil reached a peak at 21 d after treatment with 2J1 and 3J1,and the contents of 1,8-cineole increased by 201.53% and 174.47% compared with controls,and α-terpineol increased by 364.14% and 307.29% as well,respectively. Furthermore,the peroxidase(POD)content,catalase(CAT)activity,and malondialdehyde(MOD)content of suspension cells increased significantly. No significant difference was detected between C. longepaniculatum treated with 5J2 and the control group in terms of essential oil accumulation,CAT and POD activity,and MOD contents,nor did YB. Consequently,treatment with 2J1 and 3J1 could significantly increase the accumulation of essential oil in C. longepaniculatum.
