Selenium (Se) is essential for human health, however, Se is deficient in soil in many places
all around the world, resulting in human diseases, such as notorious Keshan disease and …

Stress due to drought lowers crop yield and frequently leads to a rise in food scarcity. Plants'
intricate metabolic systems enable them to tolerate drought stress, but they are unable to …

The goal of phytoremediation is to use plants to immobilize, extract or degrade organic and
inorganic pollutants. In the case of organic contaminants, plants essentially act indirectly …

The significance of rhizosphere microorganisms, especially mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria,
in polluted soils can be enormous, since they are able to increase the tolerance of plants …

Single and joint ectomycorrhizal (+ Hebeloma mesophaeum) and bacterial (+ Bacillus
cereus) inoculations of willows (Salix viminalis) were investigated for their potential and …

Saline stress is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting the growth and development

In this work, we present the results of the inoculation of canola seeds (Brassica napus L.)
with Trichoderma viride strains that promote the growth of plants. Seven morphologically …

The study of root-associated microbial communities is important to understand the natural
processes involved in plant recolonisation at degraded areas. Root associated bacterial and …

Willows (Salix spp.) are mycorrhizal tree species sometimes cultivated as short rotation
coppice (SRC) on arable sites for energy purposes; they are also among the earliest plants …

The roots of Salix spp. can be colonized by two types of mycorrhizal fungi (ectomycorrhizal
and arbuscular) and furthermore by dark-septate endophytes. The fungal root colonization is …
