Abstract Background and Aims It is increasingly evident that plant tolerance to stress is
improved by mycorrhiza. Thus, suitable plant–fungus combinations may also contribute to …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have repeatedly been demonstrated to alleviate heavy
metal stress of plants. The current manuscript summarizes results obtained to date on the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …

Plants have a system of antioxidant enzymes, which helps to alleviate the effects of various
types of stresses. Heavy metals like Cadmium and lead are tolerable for plants to certain …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, cysteine‐rich peptides involved in intracellular
sequestration of heavy metals in eukaryotes. We examined the role in metal homeostasis …

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) is an obligate biotroph, which mainly improves phosphorus
nutrition, ability to withstand water stress and offers a natural potential for biological control …

Poplar is a suitable species for phytoremediation, able to tolerate high concentrations of
heavy metals (HMs). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic associations with …

Background and aims Colonisation of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can
increase plant biomass and nutrition under soil zinc (Zn) deficiency and toxicity conditions …

Significant improvement of growth associated with increased, rather than decreased, uptake
of Cu and Zn has been observed in poplar plants inoculated with Glomus spp. as compared …

Uptake, translocation, detoxification, and sequestration of heavy metals (HMs) are key
processes in plants to deal with excess amounts of HM. Under natural conditions, plant roots …
