Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …

Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils due to human production activities—
mining, fossil fuel combustion, and application of chemical fertilizers/pesticides—results in …

Uptake, translocation, detoxification, and sequestration of heavy metals (HMs) are key
processes in plants to deal with excess amounts of HM. Under natural conditions, plant roots …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an important role in improving plant tolerance and
accumulation of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd). The growth, physiology and absorption of …

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

We investigated how arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis can alter trace element uptake,
distribution and toxicity in plants by examining some of the molecular mechanisms behind …

Soils of abandoned and vacant lands in the periphery of cities are frequently subjected to
illegal dumping and can undergo degradation processes such as depletion of organic …

Endophytic fungi exist widely in plants and play an important role in the growth and
adaptation of plants. They could be used in phytoremediation techniques against heavy …
