The positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on host plants under heavy metal
(HM) stress conditions have been widely recognized. HMs are known to induce phytotoxicity …

Clethra barbinervis Sieb. et Zucc. is a tree species that grows naturally at several mine sites
and seems to be tolerant of high concentrations of heavy metals, such as Cu, Zn, and Pb …

Aucuba japonica Thunb. is an evergreen understory shrub that grows naturally at a mine
site. The mine soil contains high concentrations of heavy metals, and A. japonica appears to …

A sand culture experiment was conducted to investigate whether mycorrhizal colonization
and mycorrhizal fungal vesicular numbers were influenced by metal lead, and whether …

A plant's tolerance to heavy metals (HMs) and its detoxification mechanisms are associated
with the subcellular distribution of HMs and their chemical forms. In this study, water spinach …

The contribution of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) to immobilisation of Cd in substrate was
studied in two experiments. In the first experiment, substrates prepared by cultivating …

Heavy metals stress is of great concern as it contaminates the environment affecting human
health and the growth and quality of different plants including the medicinal ones. The use of …

The effects of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi isolates on Cd uptake and accumulation by
maize (Zea mays L.) were investigated in a planted pot experiment. Plants were inoculated …

As a non-essential metal, cadmium (Cd) pollution poses severe threats to plant growth,
environment, and human health. Phytoextraction using nursery stocks prior to their …

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 …
