One of the most important morphological changes occurring in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
roots takes place when the plant plasma membrane (PM) invaginates around the fungal …

Heavy metal accumulation in plants is a severe environmental problem, rising at an
expeditious rate. Heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic, mercury and lead are known …

Soil contamination by lead (Pb) is a problem due to the persistence of this element on soil.
High amounts of Pb in soil impair plant establishment, however some plants may increase …

When tomato was grown in either “Breinigerberg” soil, which has a high content of Zn and of
other heavy metals or in non-polluted soil enriched with upto 1mM CdCl2, plants colonized …

A mesocosm experiment was conducted to investigate whether communities of arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associated with roots of native (Piptatherum miliaceum, Retama …

Mycorrhizas are the chief organ for plant mineral nutrient acquisition. In temperate, mixed
forests, ash roots (Fraxinus excelsior) are colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) …

The pathological interaction between oak trees and Phytophthora cinnamomi has
implications in the cork oak decline observed over the last decades in the Iberian Peninsula …

Soils polluted with heavy metals result into various environmental and ecological tribulations
like alterations in microbial community, deterioration of soil, and induction of metals into the …

We investigated how arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis can alter trace element uptake,
distribution and toxicity in plants by examining some of the molecular mechanisms behind …

The Bradford-reactive soil protein (BRSP) fraction includes glomalin, a glycoprotein
produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi able to bind some metals, such as copper …
