Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Mediated Alleviation of Heavy Metal Stress

Recently agricultural lands are getting contaminated with heavy metals due to the extensive utilization of agrochemicals. Bioaccumulation of these toxic heavy metals in the edible parts of crop plants enhances the chances of heavy metal exposure to human beings. Utilization of mycorrhizal is a sustainable method to reduce the translocation of metal ions to the shoot by improving the immobilization of metal in the root and rhizosphere. Moreover this organism improve the growth and development of crop plants.
