Soil naturally comprises heavy metals but due to the rapid industrialization and
anthropogenic events such as uncontrolled use of agrochemicals their concentration is …

Soils polluted with heavy metals have become common across the globe due to increase in
geologic and anthropogenic activities. Plants growing on these soils show a reduction in …

The use of microbes to change the concentration of heavy metals in soil and improve the
ability of plants to deal with elevated metals concentrations has significant economic and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …

Remediation of sites contaminated with toxic metals is particularly challenging. Unlike
organic compounds, metals cannot be degraded, and the cleanup usually requires their …

Beneficial plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are primary determinants of plant
health and soil fertility. Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most important microbial symbioses …

Phytoremediation is a site remediation strategy, which employs plants to remove non-
volatile and immisible soil contents. This sustainable and inexpensive process is emerging …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) benefit plants by allowing them to grow and produce in
relatively harsh mineral stress environments. This has been attributed extensively to ability …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations are integral, functioning parts of plant roots and
are widely recognized as enhancing plant growth on severely disturbed sites, including …

Use of plants, with hyperaccumulating ability or in association with soil microbes including
the symbiotic fungi, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), are among the most common biological …
