Heavy metal pollution in soil is a global problem with serious impacts on human health and
ecological security. Phytoextraction in phytoremediation, in which plants uptake and …

Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Heavy metal (HM) contamination in agricultural soils has become a prime concern for
today's society, as it entails environmental risks. Cadmium (Cd) is extremely toxic and …

Research on mycorrhizal symbiosis has been slowed by a lack of established study
systems. To address this challenge, we have been developing Suillus, a widespread …

Human‐altered environments can shape the evolution of organisms. Fungi are no
exception, although little is known about how they withstand anthropogenic pollution. Here …

The role that common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) play in plant‐to‐plant transfer of zinc
(Zn) has not yet been investigated, despite the proved functions of arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Abstract Blueberry (Vaccinium spp., Vc) plants are highly susceptible to Fe deficiency stress.
An understanding of the mechanisms involved in Fe as well as other mineral ions uptake …

Fungi play a pivotal role in metals biomineralization and biogeochemical cycling thereby
influencing various essential pedogenic processes, eg, rock weathering, organic matter …

Agricultural microbes are essential biological resources, which can effectively promote crop
production via diverse mechanisms. To date, a large array of microbes has been intensively …

Endophytes confer fitness advantages to host plants. However, the ecological communities
of endophytic fungi in the different tissues (rhizomes, stems, and leaves) of Paris polyphylla …
