In a Cd-contaminated environment, not only mature trees but also their seeds and young
seedlings can be exposed to Cd. Cadmium taken up by young seedlings may influence …

Abstract Effects of Cd and mycorrhizal colonisation on seedling growth and Cd accumulation
in Pinus sylvestris seedlings were studied. While colonisation by Suillus bovinus improved …

Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals and its accumulation in the upper layers of
forest soils affects plants, microorganisms and their interactions. Adequate strategies for the …

Pinus banksiana and Picea glauca inoculated or not with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus
luteus were grown in a sandy loam soil containing a range of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn …

Purpose Fruiting vegetables are generally considered to be safer than other vegetables for
planting on cadmium (Cd)-contaminated farms. However, the risk of transferring Cd that has …

We studied the effects of ectomycorrhizal colonization by Laccaria bicolor (Maire) Orton
S238 and Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr. 533 on cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Norway spruce …

The root tips of host plant species can establish ectomycorrhizae with their fungal partners,
thereby altering the responses of the host plants to heavy metal (HM) toxicity. Here, two …

Highlights•We assessed the effect of mycorrhizal fungi on cadmium uptake by sunflower
plants.•AM fungal isolates mediate tolerance strategies to alleviate metal toxicity in …

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on cadmium (Cd) concentration in flax was
investigated in a pot experiment. Flax inoculated with Glomus intraradices and uninoculated …

Phytoextraction has been proposed in recent years as an environmentally and cost-efficient
treatment technique for the remediation of heavy-metal contaminated sites. In particular …
