There are few reports on the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to promote growth and stress tolerance of soybean (Glycine max L.) in agricultural soils contaminated with heavy metals. The present study evaluated the role of AMF in promoting tolerance and growth, as well as uptake of heavy me...
