Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Because of its low availability
in arable soils worldwide, Zn deficiency is becoming a serious agricultural problem resulting …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency can severely inhibit plant growth, yield, and enzymatic activities. Zn
plays a vital role in various enzymatic activities in plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) …

Owing to the realization of the harmful effect of cadmium on the environment and plants and
as the plants are sessile organisms, they need to increase the protective mechanisms to …

Salinity stress is the second most devastating abiotic factor limiting plant growth and yields.
Climate changes have significantly increased salinity levels of soil. Besides improving the …

This study investigates the impact of Glomus mosseae on heavy metal (loid)(HM) uptake
efficiency of pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants along with physiological and biochemical …

Mechanisms of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)-induced lower oxidative burst of host plants
under drought stress (DS) are not elucidated. A noninvasive microtest technology (NMT) …

The accrual of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a common biochemical response to all
abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. ROS are extremely lethal to biological cells causing …

The research aimed to determine the influence of endophytic fungi on tolerance, growth and
phytoremediation ability of Prosopis juliflora in heavy metal–polluted landfill soil. A …

Symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offer an effective indirect
mechanism to reduce heavy metal (HM) stress; however, it is still not clear which AMF …

Background Evaluation of native soil microbes is a realistic way to develop bio-agents for
ecological restoration. Soil alkalinity, which has a high pH, is one of the most common …
