Abstract

Establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis in plant roots can affect plant physiological and morphological characteristics and may induce tolerance to heavy metals in plants grown in polluted soils; therefore, it can play an important role in phytoremediation. In the present study, to investigate the effect of mycorrhiza on alfalfa growth and lead (Plumbum, Pb) uptake, a factorial experiment was designed with two factors: (1) plants noninoculated (NM) or inoculated with Rhizophagus intraradices (Ri) or Funneliformis mosseae (Fm) and (2) soil non-contaminated (Pb0) and contaminated with 200 (Pb1), 400 (Pb2) and 600 (Pb3) mg kg-1 Pb2+. All plants were evenly inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti. Results showed that at high levels of Pb2+, both fungi compared to the NM controls enhanced root nodulation and phosphorus nutrition. The dry weight of shoots, leaf area and chlorophyll index significantly increased in mycorrhizal-inoculated plants compared to the NM plants. Mycorrhizal dependency increased significantly (p < 0. 05) by four-and three-folds in Ri and Fm plants, respectively, at Pb3 level in comparison with the non-polluted condition. Moreover, Pb translocation from root to the shoot significantly (p < 0. 05) declined at Pb3 level in Ri plants by 1. 75-folds as compared with NM plants. Comparison of the results obtained by principal component analysis demonstrated that R. intraradices symbiosis was more efficient for host plant protection against the phytotoxic effect of Pb. These results highlight the assisting role of AM fungi in protecting plants from metal toxicity and in plant establishment in Pb polluted soils.
