Trace metals such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are essential
for many biological processes in plant life cycles. However, in excess, they can be toxic and …

Multiple contaminants can affect plant-microbial remediation processes because of their
interactive effects on environmental behaviour, bioavailability and plant growth. Recent …

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the colonization of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus mosseae on the growth and metal uptake of …

When tomato was grown in either “Breinigerberg” soil, which has a high content of Zn and of
other heavy metals or in non-polluted soil enriched with upto 1mM CdCl2, plants colonized …

Studies on mycorrhizal symbiosis effects on metal accumulation and plant tolerance are not
common in perennial crops under metal stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate …

The acerbic elevation of toxic metal ions in arable lands, enhance the risk of their
accumulation and biomagnification in crops as well as in humans. Phytoremediation is an …

In two pot experiments, wild type and a non-mycorrhizal mutant (TR25: 3-1) of Medicago
truncatula were grown in arsenic (As)-contaminated soil to investigate the influences of …

In this paper, the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and phosphate amendments
on protection of the tropical grass Brachiaria decumbens Stapf. against metal toxicity caused …

The effects of soil Zinc (Zn) deficiency on human health and productivity of livestock and
crops are severe and thus increasing the Zn concentration in plant tissue (and/or its …

This work aimed to study the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Hg and major
