The endophytic fungus Mucor sp. was isolated from Arabidopsis arenosa inhabiting post
mining wastes lands. Its role in plant adaptation to toxic metal enriched environment was …

The aim of this study was to assess the biodiversity of endophytic fungi from Arabidopsis
arenosa growing on a post mining waste dump and to evaluate their role in plant adaptation …

Human activities generate wastes, some of which contain large amounts of heavy
metals/metalloids that could enter natural ecosystems and alter the activities and functioning …

Erica andevalensis was found growing in the banks of extremely acidic, heavily metal-
contaminated tailings of an abandoned pyrite mine in the Mértola region of southeastern …

The contamination of soil with toxic metals is a worldwide problem, resulting in the disruption
of plant vegetation and subsequent crop production. Thus, remediation techniques for …

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 …

Recent investigative interests focusing on plants and their allied soil-symbionts would
suggest an important and multilateral impact of soil microbes in plant nutrient uptake and the …

Metals cannot be chemically degraded; rather they need to be physically removed in cost-
intensive and technically complex procedures, highlighting the need for sustainable cost …

Microorganisms play a key role in plant adaptation to the environment. The aim of this study
was to evaluate the effect of toxic metals present in the soil on the biodiversity of plant …

Toxic metal accumulation in soils of agricultural interest is a serious problem needing more
attention, and investigations on soil–plant metal transfer must be pursued to better …
