Abstracts |
Effects of Cd and mycorrhizal colonisation on seedling
growth and Cd accumulation in Pinus sylvestris seedlings were
studied. While colonisation by Suillus bovinus improved shoot
growth, colonisation by Paxillus involutus had no effect on
growth of seedlings. There was no Cd-ameliorating effect of
colonisation in terms of either shoot or root growth.
Colonisation by P. involutus did not decrease Cd transport from
roots to shoots, whereas colonisation by S. bovinus
significantly reduced the level of Cd in shoots in the 100 mg Cd
kg(-1) treatment. The proportion of healthy mycorrhizal root
tips of S. bovinus-inoculated seedlings was reduced as a result
of Cd addition. However, no such effect was found in P.
involutus-inoculated seedlings
