The application of mycorrhizal fungi as a bioaugmentation technology for phytoremediation
of heavy metal (HM) contaminated soil has attracted widespread attention. In order to …

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 …

Whether the huge external hyphal system of ectomycorrhizae that promotes host plants'
acquisition of water and nutrients can selectively inhibit their transport of heavy metals at the …

Cadmium (Cd) displays strong toxicity, high mobility, and cannot be degraded, which poses
a serious threat to the environment. Cenococcum geophilum (C. geophilum) is one of the …

Mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous in natural ecosystems and can form symbiotic associations
with the majority of terrestrial plants. They can be detected even in heavy metal …

Summary Adaptive Zn and Cd tolerance have evolved in populations of the ectomycorrhizal
fungus Suillus luteus. When exposed to high concentrations of both metals in vitro, a one …

In this study, the effects of inoculating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus mosseae) on
the growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, and chlorophyll …

Owing to the realization of the harmful effect of cadmium on the environment and plants and
as the plants are sessile organisms, they need to increase the protective mechanisms to …

Soil heavy metal (HM) pollution, which arises from natural and anthropogenic sources, is a
prime threat to the environment due to its accumulative property and non-biodegradability …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant tolerance to several abiotic stresses,
including heavy metals, drought or salinity exposure. However, the role of AMF in alleviation …
