Mineral nutrition of plants greatly depends on both environmental conditions, particularly of
soils, and the genetic background of the plant itself. Being sessile, plants adopted a range of …

Endophytes are microorganisms that live within plant tissues without causing symptoms of
disease. They are important components of plant microbiomes. Endophytes interact with …

Background Soil contaminated with the heavy metal Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread
problem in many parts of the world. Based on metagenomic analysis, we investigated the …

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

Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have repeatedly been demonstrated to alleviate heavy
metal stress of plants. The current manuscript summarizes results obtained to date on the …

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

The development of symbioses between soil fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM), and most
terrestrial plants can be very beneficial to both partners and hence to the ecosystem. Among …
