Abstracts |
Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) plants were inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Acaulospora laevis) to investigate the effects of different concentrations of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP; 0, 10, and 100 mg kg(-1)) added to soil on their growth. Mycorrhizal plants were less affected by high concentration of DBP (100 mg kg(-1)) than non-mycorrhizal ones. Also the uptake and transformation of DBP by mycorrhizal plants differed from that of non-mycorrhizal plants |
