Selection for metal-tolerant ecotypes of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi has been reported in
instances of metal contamination of soils as a result of human activities. However, no study …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to investigate the
genetic diversity in isolates of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Cenococcum geophilum from …

The effects of potentially toxic metals on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and their higher plant
hosts are examined in this review. Investigations at a species and community level have …

Heavy metal toxicity is a strong trigger for evolutionary adaptation in terrestrial biota that
colonise metalliferous soils. Here, I will focus on the occurrence of metal tolerance in …

Nickel (Ni)‐tolerant ectomycorrhizal P isolithus albus was isolated from extreme ultramafic
soils that are naturally rich in heavy metals. This study aimed to identify the specific …

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

This chapter focuses on the mutual relations between metal elements and the population
biology, community composition and biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) and on …

Abstract Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) Pisolithus albus (Cooke & Massee), belonging to the
ultramafic ecotype isolated in nickel-rich serpentine soils from New Caledonia (a tropical …

Publisher Summary This chapter has attempted to synthesize the available literature on
mycorrhizal fungi-host plant adaptation to metal-contaminated soils in order to draw …

Introduction Heavy metal pollution is a strong driver of above-and belowground communities
and triggers evolutionary adaptation in organisms. This review provides an overview of our …
