There is evidence that colonisation by mycorrhizal fungi can protect host plants from toxic
concentrations of heavy metals. The mechanism by which protection is provided by the …

The degree of infection of onions with the vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus
mosseae was strongly reduced by additions of zinc, copper, nickel or cadmium to the soil …

Some plants hyperaccumulate metals or metalloids to levels several orders of magnitude
higher than other species. This intriguing phenomenon has received considerable attention …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis occurs between obligate biotrophic fungi of the
phylum Glomeromycota and most land plants. The exchange of nutrients between host …

The majority of plants have mycorrhizal fungi associated with them. Mycorrhizal fungi are
ecologically significant because they form relationships in and on the roots of a host plant in …

The ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from a metal-tolerant plant (Viola
calaminaria, violet) to colonise and reduce metal uptake by a non-tolerant plant (Trifolium …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are vital components of nearly all terrestrial ecosystems,
forming mutually beneficial (mutualistic) symbioses with the roots of around 80% of vascular …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous soil fungi that form symbiotic associations
with most terrestrial plants. The growth and functions of AM fungi depend on carbohydrates …

More than 80% of land plant species can form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, and nutrient transfer to plants is largely mediated through this partnership. Over the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is heavily and positively implicated in phosphorus
(P) acquisition from soil to plants, including many important agricultural crops. Its role in …
