Trace metals such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are essential
for many biological processes in plant life cycles. However, in excess, they can be toxic and …

In the recent decades, Cd burden in cocoa-based products threatened global food safety,
human health and the future of chocolateries. Increased Cd bioavailability is an acute …

Background Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal. Its emission is suspected to be
further increased due to the dramatic application of ash to agricultural soils and newly …

Cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) are two of the most toxic metals, wreaking havoc on human
health and agricultural output. Furthermore, high levels of Cd and Ni in the soil environment …

The tolerance of plant growth-promoting endophytes (PGPEs) against various
concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) was investigated. Two glutathione …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a specific category of microbes that
improve plant growth and promote greater tolerance to metal stress through their …

Endophytic fungi ubiquitously dwell inside the tissue-spaces of plants, mostly
asymptomatically. They grow either intercellularly or intracellularly in a particular host plant …

Heavy metals are among the major environmental pollutants and the accumulation of these
metals in soils is of great concern in agricultural production due to the toxic effects on crop …

The present study proposes the use of endophytic fungi for mercury bioremediation in in
vitro and host-associated systems. We examined mercury resistance in 32 strains of …

Phytoremediation uses plants and associated microbes to remove pollutants from the
environment and is considered a promising bioremediation method. Compared with well …
