The Effect of Endophytic Talaromyces pinophilus on Growth, Absorption and Accumulation of Heavy Metals of Triticum aestivum Grown on Sandy Soil Amended by Sewage Sludge

Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are risks associated with its use, including high heavy metal content. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the role of endophytic MW695526 on the growth of cultivated in soil amended with sewage sludge and it...

Description
Summary:Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are risks associated with its use, including high heavy metal content. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the role of endophytic MW695526 on the growth of cultivated in soil amended with sewage sludge and its phytoremediation ability. could produce gibberellic acid (GA) and stimulate to accumulate GA. The results showed that inoculation with boosted plant growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, osmolytes (soluble proteins, soluble sugars and total amino acids), enzymatic antioxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase), K, Ca and Mg. On the other hand, it reduced Na, Na/K ratio, Cd, Ni, Cu and Zn in the growth media as well as in the shoot and root of . The results suggest that endophytic can work as a barrier to reduce the absorption of heavy metals in cultivated in soil amended with sewage sludge.
