Arsenic uptake in upland rice inoculated with a combination or single arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Metal uptake, oxidative metabolism, and mycorrhization in pigeonpeaand pea under arsenic and cadmium stress

“…The significant interaction of species and AM fungi on the concentrations of N, P, and K + indicated that symbiosis between the two symbionts resulted in differential nutrient uptake efficiencies for different AM fungi and host plant combinations. Enhanced growth of mycorrhizal plants in metal(loid) environments has been related to mycorrhizae-mediated enhancement of mineral nutrition as they can translocate inorganic phosphate by increasing the interface between plants and the soil environment through extensive extraradical hyphal networks (Ezawa et al, 2002;Pichardo et al, 2012;Chan et al, 2013;Zaefarian et al, 2013), dilution effect due to significant increase in root dry weight (Dong et al, 2008;Bona et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2013;de Melo Rangel et al, 2014), and superior branching pattern of roots (Vogel-Mikuš and Regvar, 2006;Smith and Read, 2008). Constitutive expression or induction of nutrient transporters during symbiosis could improve translocation of mineral elements to the plant (Harrison et al, 2002;Giasson et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2008;Christophersen et al, 2012).…”

“…leaves) and fruits. Consequently, in some cases, these biofertilizers could also be factors in the increase of metal(loid) uptake by plants [144]. Therefore, research needs to be conducted, to determine if most fungi able to methylate As have the same capability with regard to Sb, especially in the case of AMF, which could be used as a barrier between edible plants and soil on Sb-contaminated soils.…”

Arsenic ecotoxicology: The interface between geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere

“…Schneider et al [41] further studied AMF in mining impacted As contaminated areas in Brazil where they observed an inverse relationship between As content in soils and the mycorrhizal colonization, density of spores and species richness. Chan et al [42] showcased their research results on the role of AMF in As uptake by upland rice and further reported the effect of AMF on the yield. The last article of this section by Dave et al [43] examined the contrast in tolerance of rice genotypes exposed to various levels of As(III) and As(V).…”
