Mycorrhiza-induced cadmium tolerance in squash: roles of antioxidant defense, secondary metabolites, and restricted metal uptake and translocation

Climate change-associated environmental pollution has intensified heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium (Cd), posing a serious threat to agricultural productivity and food safety. The present study investigated the potential role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in mitigating Cd-induced toxicity in squas...
