Morocco is one of the richest countries in aromatic and medicinal plants due to its dynamic geographical distribution, varied soil and climate conditions, and its relevant and innovative approach to research. Thymus satureioides is a representative example of this richness. In this regard, the comparative study of mycorrhizal communities associated with Thymus satureiodes in the Tafraout and Azilal regions provides important qualitative and quantitative results. Indeed, environmental interactions make Thymus satureiodes a representative tool for studying its mycorrhizal status, and its ability to form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is an important advantage in bioprotection and in ecological and environmental balance. This comparative study aims to characterize and compare the mycorrhizal communities associated with Thymus satureiodes in different regions in order to assess the morphological differences of arbuscular fungi. The comparative analysis of the mycorrhizal status of Thymus satureiodes on a regional scale is therefore a biological factor in the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and a means of promoting and preserving it. The integration of this species into the conservation and evolution of sustainable agriculture is one of the challenges of the Natural Resources, Biodiversity axis, which is why it is necessary to highlight the links between soil microbial diversity and plant resilience.
Keywords: Thymus satureiodes, comparative analysis, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, mycorrhizal status.
