Whether the huge external hyphal system of ectomycorrhizae that promotes host plants'
acquisition of water and nutrients can selectively inhibit their transport of heavy metals at the …

The root tips of host plant species can establish ectomycorrhizae with their fungal partners,
thereby altering the responses of the host plants to heavy metal (HM) toxicity. Here, two …

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

To understand the role of ectomycorrhizas in improving the tolerance of its host to excessive
heavy metals in soil, this study was conducted to exam the patterns of four fractions (the …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizas (EMs), which are symbiotic organs formed between tree roots and certain
fungi, can mediate cadmium (Cd) tolerance of host plants, but the underlying physiological …
