Among many soil problems, heavy metal accumulation is one of the major agronomic
challenges that has seriously threatened food safety. Due to these problems, soil …

Cadmium (Cd) is considered to be one of the most toxic pollutants persistent in soil for
thousands of years and is ranked on seventh position among all environmental pollutants …

Cadmium (Cd) is the most toxic element present in the soil, air and water that causes
deleterious effects on the physico-chemical and antioxidant processes of maize plant …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cadmium (Cd) toxicity on

Improving soil microbial activity and using microbial synergistic relations, such as arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are of major …

Contamination of land and aquatic ecosystems with heavy metals (HMs) is a global issue
having the persistent potential to damage the quality of food and water. In the present study …

Heavy metals are inevitable in every ecosystem. Some of them are essential, few are
contaminants after permissible limits, but some are toxic to microbe, plant and human. These …

Although irrigation water is a fundamental need for plant growth, it is also a source of
pollutants if contaminated with harmful materials like cadmium (Cd). Irrigation water …

In this study, the effect of a mycorrhizal symbiosis on the translocation of Cd from Cd-
polluted soil to sorghum roots was investigated using rhizoboxes. A factorial experiment (two …

The chemical composition of root exudates and root extracts from Chrysopogon zizanioides
