TLDR
To a certain extent, addition of P to the soil alleviated the Zn toxicity that had inhibited plant growth, but plant biomass tended to decrease with increasing soil Zn levels, while P amendment improved P uptake, it also resulted in increased shoot Zn uptake.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Role of plants, mycorrhizae and phytochelators in heavy metal contaminated land remediation.
TL;DR: A brief review of studies in the area of phytoaccumulation is provided, most of which have been carried out in Europe and the USA, with particular attention given to the role of phytochelators in making the heavy metals bio- available to the plant and their symbionts in enhancing the uptake of bio-available heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and organic farming
TL;DR: The evidence available suggests that this leads to increased AMF inoculum in soils, greater crop colonisation and enhanced nutrient uptake, though there is little evidence for increased yield resulting from high rates of AMF colonisation in organic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of soil microbes in the rhizospheres of plants growing on trace metal contaminated soils in phytoremediation.
TL;DR: There is a need to improve the understanding of the mechanisms involved in transfer and mobilization of trace elements by rhizosphere microbiota and to conduct research on selection of microbial isolates from rhizospheres of plants growing on heavy metal contaminated soils for specific restoration programmes.

Prospects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils
Atimanav Gaur,Alok Adholeya +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the potential of AM fungi for enhancing phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils and isolation of the indigenous and presumably stress- adapted AM fungi can be a potential biotechnological tool for inoculation of plants for successful restoration of degraded ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of bioinoculants in development of salt-tolerance of Vicia faba plants under salinity stress
Gamal H. Rabie,A. M. Almadini +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence for benefits of NFB to Am fungus in the protection of host plants against the detrimental effects of salt is provided and bacterial-Am-legume tripartite symbioses could be a new approach to increase the salinity tolerance of legumes plants under salinity conditions.

Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the relationship between mineral nutrition and plant diseases and pests, and diagnose deficiency and toxicity of mineral nutrients in leaves and other aerial parts of a plant.

Development of a DTPA soil test for zinc, iron, manganese and copper
Willard L. Lindsay,W. A. Norvell +1 more
TL;DR: A DTPA soil test was developed to identify near-neutral and calcareous soils with insufficient available Zn, Fe, Mn, or Cu for maximum yields of crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved procedures for clearing roots and staining parasitic and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for rapid assessment of infection.
J.M. Phillips,D. S. Hayman +1 more
TL;DR: To improve stain penetration and clearing in whole mycorrhizal roots of onion and other host plants, and in roots infected by other fungi, the following two procedures are developed, which give deeply stained fungal structures which show distinctly against the outlines of the cells in the cortex of intact roots.
