Heavy metals (HMs) are environmental pollutants of great concern to humans because of
their high potential toxicity. Lead is a HM that is present in the soil in very small amounts, but …

We investigated whether an intact extraradical mycelium (ERM) is more effective than other
forms of propagule from indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in providing …

Ecto‐and endomycorrhizal symbiosis can play a crucial role in protecting plant roots from
heavy metals (HMs). The efficiency of protection, however, differs between distinct isolates of …

Two registered clones of poplar were grown in soil contaminated or not with copper. Some
of the plants were pre-inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Copper effects on …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi establish a mutualistic symbiosis with the roots of most
plant species. While receiving photosynthates, they improve the mineral nutrition of the plant …

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

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can promote plant growth and resistance to heavy metal
(HM), affect HM bioavailability and uptake by plants, and thus have been considered as the …

Mycorrhizal fungi represent an interface between plants and soil, as they mediate the uptake
and transfer of ele—ments from the soil particles to the roots of mycor 'rhi—zal plants. For …

Introduction Heavy metal pollution is a strong driver of above-and belowground communities
and triggers evolutionary adaptation in organisms. This review provides an overview of our …

Use of plants, with hyperaccumulating ability or in association with soil microbes including
the symbiotic fungi, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), are among the most common biological …
