Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are
complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the …

The uptake, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and risks of nanomaterials (NMs) for food
crops are still not well understood. Very few NMs and plant species have been studied …

Cadmium (Cd) is a major environmental pollutant and one of the most toxic metals in the
environment. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) assisted phytoremediation can be used to …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution has become a serious global problem due to the non-
biodegradable nature of the HMs and their persistence in the environment. Agricultural soil …

Heavy metal accumulation in mesquite trees (Prosopis laevigata) growing in aluminum,
titanium, chromium and zirconium-polluted soils of a semi-arid region in Mexico was …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), ubiquitous soil fungi that form symbiotic relationships
with the majority of terrestrial plants, are known to play an important role in plant tolerance to …

Some plants can tolerate and even detoxify soils contaminated with heavy metals. This
detoxification ability may depend on what chemical forms of metals are taken up by plants …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can enhance plant Cr tolerance through immobilizing Cr
in mycorrhizal roots. However, the detailed processes and mechanisms are unclear. The …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous soil fungi that form symbiotic associations
with most terrestrial plants. The growth and functions of AM fungi depend on carbohydrates …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been reported to play a central role in improving
plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd)-contaminated sites. This is achieved by enhancing both the …
