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 …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered a potential biotechnological tool for
mitigating heavy metal (HM) toxicity. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate …

High concentrations of heavy metals (HM) in the soil have detrimental effects on ecosystems
and are a risk to human health as they can enter the food chain via agricultural products or …

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 …

High concentrations of heavy metals in soil have an adverse effect on micro-organisms and
microbial processes. Among soil microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi are the only ones …

The heavy metal pollution is a worldwide problem and has received a serious concern for
the ecosystem and human health. In the last decade, remediation of the agricultural polluted …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are able to tolerate a wide range of metal concentrations in
soils. A number of passive and active molecular processes are employed by these fungi to …

To estimate dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis in heavy metal (HM)
phytoremediation, we conducted a literature survey and correlated HM uptake and relative …

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 …
