Among heavy metal plants (the metallophytes), facultative species can live both in soils
contaminated by an excess of heavy metals and in non-affected sites. In contrast, obligate …

Most metal polluted natural environments are contaminated with multiple metals, and
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are among the extracellular strategies to avoid metal …

The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in augmenting arsenic (As) tolerance in wheat
is well recognized; however, its effect on mineral profile of grains under As stress is not …

Plant establishment, presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and other rhizospheric
fungi were studied in mine wastes from Zimapan, Hidalgo state, Mexico, using a holistic …

Presence of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) at elevated levels in the soils is threatening
agricultural productivity. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) enhance plant resistance to metal …

Cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) are commonly associated with each other due to their similar
geochemical behavior. Cadmium is a potentially toxic metal and Zn plays important role in …

Toxicity has been the primary driver of research on excess metals; but in recent decades, the
biology of metal accumulation/hyperaccumulation became the main focus of research. The …

More than 80% of all higher plants are colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)
under diverse stress conditions. The extent of mycorrhizal colonization in plants that grow in …

The present study addresses the question whether heavy metal (HM) tolerance of host
plants determines how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis affects their response to …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were inoculated into the root system of edible tomato
plants to investigate their effect on the uptake and distribution of strontium radionuclide in …
