Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required to enhance crop growth and yield. In the arid–
semiarid region, Zn deficiency is expected due to alkaline calcareous soil. Contrarily, Zn …

Antimony (Sb) is a non-essential element for plants, animals, and humans. With increased
anthropogenic inputs from mining and industrial activities, ore processing, vehicle …

Bacterial communities in antimony (Sb) polluted soils have been well addressed, whereas
the important players fungal communities are far less studied to date. Here, we report …

Environmental contamination by antimony (Sb), a non-essential and non-beneficial
metalloid, is a great threat to living organisms at a global scale. Owing to its various uses in …

This study was aimed to explore that effects of Sb on physiological parameters of Acorus
calamus and the possibility of using A. calamus as a remediation plant. A. calamus potted …

Antimony (Sb) is not an essential element for humans and plants although it can be used to
treat some human diseases, such as schistosomiasis. Sb contamination has been …

In response to mounting concerns over heavy metal contamination in soils, this review
explores the potential of beneficial soil microorganisms, particularly Plant Growth-Promoting …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can form symbiotic relationships with most terrestrial
plants and regulate the uptake and distribution of antimony (Sb) in rice. The effect of AMF on …

The symbiotic partnership of plants and fungi was a critical means of nutrient uptake during
colonization of the terrestrial surface. The Lower Devonian Rhynie Chert shows evidence for …

Among the components of the chemical cocktail that contaminate the agricultural soil,
pesticides and fertilizers are the main inducers of its deterioration. Decades of intensive …
