Metal uptake, transport and release by wetland plants: implications for phytoremediation and restoration. (2004, background): “Khan et al. (2000) suggested that they play a protective role, restricting the uptake of metals by plants by immobilizing the metals in the fungal tissue.”
Phytoremediation in Wetland Ecosystems: Progress, Problems, and Potential (2002, background): ““Phytomining”, the recovery of accumulated trace metals, might be side benefits of phytoremediation; however, concerns about plant matter getting into the food chain by direct consumption or by decomposition pathways (Khan et al., 2000) include considerable ecological and human health problems.”
Mycorrhiza and phosphate protection of tropical grass species against heavy metal toxicity in multi-contaminated soil (2008, background): “It has been suggested that the AM effects on host plant’s tolerance to heavy metals may depend on reduced metal uptake because of retention and immobilization in chitin or glomalin in the fungal wall (Khan et al. 2000; Zhu et al. 2001; GonzálezChávez et al. 2004) and reduced metal transfer from root”
Change in soil properties and the soil microbial community following land spreading of olive mill wastewater affects olive trees key physiological parameters and the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2008, background): “Leadir et al. (1997) indicated that the phenolic compounds may inhibit the establishment of AM symbioses and decrease the host growth.”
Global diversity and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, neutral): “Other abiotic factors such as nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, heavy metal contamination, and disturbance history can also in ﬂ uence AM fungal community composition (Hijri et al., 2006; Khan, 2005; Khan et al., 2000; Treseder, 2004).”
