Synergistic interactions between a saprophytic fungal consortium and Rhizophagus irregularis alleviate oxidative stress in plants grown in heavy metal contaminated soil
2016
Background and aim
Accumulation of heavy metals in soil causes loss of cover vegetation and increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS accumulation induces the expression of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and other proteins involved in redox homeostasis. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between a saprophytic fungal consortium and mycorrhizal Rhizophagus irregularis with regard to the oxidative stress and molecular responses of Solanum lycopersicum L. grown in a soil contaminated with heavy metals.
