Molecular and cellular changes of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-plant interaction in pesticide contamination

摘要: Abstract Pesticides are used to prevent or control pests, diseases, and weeds. This practice, if performed incorrectly, promotes the accumulation of these compounds in soil, hindering growth organisms, especially plants. In contaminated areas, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may exert bioprotective function against pesticide toxicity. Mycorrhizal plants have higher tolerance soils with toxic concentrations. Research suggests that AMF mechanisms involved remediation environments mainly through biodegradation. Although limited saprophytic capacity, there mechanistic explanations include effects on oxidative enzyme activity roots rhizospheric soil. is ubiquitous adjusts a wide variety unfavorable environments. Recently, some research has focused efforts study molecular bases mycorrhiza process pesticide-contaminated soils. Therefore this chapter aims bring together main results recent related basis AMF-plant symbiosis remediation.
