Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including heavy
metals, drought or salinity exposure. However, the role of AMF in alleviation of soil cadmium (Cd)-induced toxicity to plants is still largely unknown. In this study, Cd speciation in soil and subcellular distribution of Cd were
used to characterize the roles of application AM fungi in the alleviation of Cd toxicity in alfalfa plants. Our results
showed that the addition of Glomus mosseae in Cd contaminated soil (10 mg/Kg) significantly increased soil pH,
cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic matter in rhizosphere soil with Medicago truncatula… More >
