Cadmium (Cd) is a major environmental pollutant and one of the most toxic metals in the
environment. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) assisted phytoremediation can be used to …

Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi increase the ability of their host plants to colonize soils polluted
with toxic metals, although the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. Two …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been referred to as the mother of all
plant root symbioses as it predated the evolution of plant roots. The AM research is a …

Mycorrhizal fungi are key microorganisms for enhancing phytoremediation of soils
contaminated with heavy metals. In this study, the effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal …

This article reviews recent developments in in situ bioremediation of trace metal
contaminated soils, with particular reference to the microbial dynamics in the rhizospheres of …

Plants with ericoid mycorrhizas successfully colonize acidic soils containing high levels of
heavy metals. While mycorrhizal infection normally enhances uptake of mineral elements …

Experiments with excised mycelium of several Glomus spp. with different histories of
exposure to heavy metals were carried out to measure their capacities to bind Cd and Zn …

Plants of the Zn, Cd and Pb hyperaccumulator Thlaspi praecox Wulfen (Brassicaceae)
inoculated or not with indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal mixture were grown in …

Toxic metal accumulation in soils of agricultural interest is a serious problem needing more
attention, and investigations on soil–plant metal transfer must be pursued to better …

The positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been demonstrated for plant
biomass, and zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) uptake, under soil nutrient deficiency …
