Heavy-metal stress and developmental patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Article Abstract:

In vitro effects of Cd, Pb, and Zn on critical life stages in metal-sensitive ecotypes of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi including spore germination, presymbiotic hyphal extension, presymbiotic sporulation, symbiotic extraradical mycelium expansion and symbiotic sporulation are discussed. Results support the hypothesis that AM fungi are differentially sensitive to heavy metals and that the metal avoidance growth patterns exhibited by some AM fungi may help them survive at heavy metal-polluted sites.

Effects of metal phytoextraction practices on the indigenous community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi at a metal-contaminated landfill

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the phytoextraction. The effect of plant species choice and soil amendments on glomalean propagules quantity and species composition has been examined.
