Aims Ectomycorrhizal fungi can improve poplar growth and tolerance to heavy metal stress,
and may be useful during the afforestation and phytoremediation of polluted regions with …

The commonly observed increased heavy metal tolerance of ectomycorrhized plants is
usually linked with the protective role of the fungal hyphae covering colonized plant root tips …

Plant-microbe interaction is a significant tool to tackle heavy metals problem in the soil. A pot
trial was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of lead tolerant rhizobacteria in improving pea …

Lead (Pb) contamination is one of the major environmental problems on a global scale.
Bacterial endophytes have been accepted as a promising technique to assist …

Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious problem to humans due to its high level of
toxicity. The heavy metal lead (Pb) is commonly used in industries and if the disposal of …

Micropropagated grey poplar (Populus× canescens (Aiton) Sm.) plantlets selected during in
vitro culture as tolerant to toxic Cu and Pb ions, as well as control plantlets, were inoculated …

Abstract Knowledge of the behavior of plant species associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) and the ability of such plants to grow on metal-contaminated soils is important to …

Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) generally provide more effective assistance for
phytoremediation to remove heavy metal (HM) from polluted soils than non-native AMF …

The application of Pb inhibited the development of mycelia of the saprobe fungi Fusarium
concolor and Trichoderma koningii and the hyphal length of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi …

The effects of a high concentration of zinc on two registered clones of poplar (Populus alba
Villafranca and Populus nigra Jean Pourtet), inoculated or not with two arbuscular …
