  A pot culture experiment was carried out to investigate the roles of Glomus mosseae in plant Cu and Pb acquisition by Oryzal sativa L., and Cu-Pb interactions. Cu was applied to the soil with different Cu levels including 0 (Cu0), 100 (Cu100), 200 (Cu200) mg kg-1 and Pb addition including 0, 300, 600 mg kg-1. All the treatments were designed with (+M) or without (-M) Glomus mosseae as randomized block. The results indicated that Cu addition and Pb addition decreased root colonization significantly. AM (arbuscular mycorrhizal) inoculation increased the root biomass under all the Cu and Pb treatments and increased the shoot biomass under Cu200 with Pb600 treatments observably compared with -M treatments. +M treatments enhanced plant Cu acquisition by Oryzal sativa L. compared with -M treatments except for shoot Cu uptake of Cu200-Pb300 treatments. However, plant Cu concentrations were d.. View More»
