The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis belongs to the strategies plants have developed
to cope with adverse environmental conditions including contamination by heavy metals …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which engage a mutualistic symbiosis with
the roots of most plant species, have received much attention for their ability to alleviate …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) can increase plant tolerance to heavy metals. A targeted
proteomic approach was used to determine the putative identity of some of the proteins …

Cadmium is a serious environmental pollution threats to the planet. Its accumulation in
plants affects many cellular functions, resulting in growth and development inhibition, whose …

Cadmium (Cd) is the most hazardous heavy metal element to organisms. Cd can induce
oxidative stress in plants that disrupts cellular homeostasis, damages proteins and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been reported to play a central role in improving
plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd)-contaminated sites. This is achieved by enhancing both the …

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 …

Some plants can tolerate and even detoxify soils contaminated with heavy metals. This
detoxification ability may depend on what chemical forms of metals are taken up by plants …

Cadmium (Cd), a toxic metal released into agricultural settings induces numerous changes
in plant growth and physiology. The main known mechanisms of Cd toxicity include its …

Molecular responses to cadmium (Cd) stress were studied in mycorrhizal and non-
mycorrhizal Pisum sativum L. cv. Frisson inoculated with Glomus intraradices. Biomass …
