Phytoremediation is an economically viable green technology that utilizes hyperaccumulator
plants to remove heavy metals (HM) from the soil. Hyperaccumulators are adept at …

Nickel (Ni) is a naturally occurring metal, but anthropogenic activities such as
industrialization, use of fertilizers, chemicals, and sewage sludge have increased its …

Nickel (Ni) is becoming a toxic pollutant in agricultural environments. Due to its diverse uses
from a range of common household items to industrial applications, it is essential to examine …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …

This article reviews the responses of plant roots to elevated rhizosphere cadmium (Cd)
concentrations. Cadmium enters plants from the soil solution. It traverses the root through …

During the history of life on Earth, tectonic and climatic change repeatedly generated large
territories that were virtually devoid of life and exhibited harsh environmental conditions. The …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been referred to as the mother of all
plant root symbioses as it predated the evolution of plant roots. The AM research is a …

Cadmium (Cd) is an inorganic mineral in the earth's crust. Cadmium entry into the
environment occurs through geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Industrial activities …

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