The symbiotic interaction between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is often
perceived as beneficial for both partners, though a large ecological literature highlights the …

Heavy metal (HM) toxicity has become a global concern in recent years and is imposing a
severe threat to the environment and human health. In the case of plants, a higher …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic associations with most terrestrial
plants. These soil microorganisms enhance the plant's nutrient uptake by extending the root …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

Agricultural as well as industrial processes, such as mining and textile activities, are just a
few examples of anthropogenic activities that have a long-term negative impact on the …

Association of plastic particles with plant roots could represent a pathway for human
consumption of plastic and plastic-associated organic contaminants. Here, we investigated …

Heavy metal contamination of agricultural fields has become a global concern as it causes a
direct impact on human health. Rice is the major food crop for almost half of the world …

A wide range of association exists in nature of which symbiotic association is the most
evolutionary conserved where both the partners are mutually benefited. However, these …

In legume nodules, symbiosomes containing endosymbiotic rhizobial bacteria act as
temporary plant organelles that are responsible for nitrogen fixation, these bacteria develop …

Phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are three essential elements for plant survival, and
severe deficiencies in these nutrients lead to growth retardation and crop yield reduction …
