Disease: Cadmium toxicity

Symbiotic Fungus Serendipita indica as a Natural Bioenhancer Against Cadmium Toxicity in Chinese Cabbage

mycolabadmin

This research shows that a beneficial fungus called Serendipita indica can help Chinese cabbage plants survive cadmium contamination. When the fungus colonizes plant roots, it triggers the plant’s natural defense systems to produce protective compounds and reduce heavy metal damage. This finding offers farmers an eco-friendly, biological solution for growing vegetables safely in contaminated soils without harmful chemical treatments.

Nitric Oxide-Mediated Regulation of Chitinase Activity and Cadmium Sequestration in the Response of Schizophyllum commune to Cadmium Stress

mycolabadmin

A culinary mushroom called Schizophyllum commune can be harmed by cadmium pollution. When exposed to cadmium, the fungus produces nitric oxide, which causes enzymes called chitinases to become more active. These active enzymes break down the mushroom’s cell wall, allowing more cadmium to accumulate and ultimately damage the fungus’s growth. By reducing nitric oxide levels, scientists may be able to protect this mushroom from cadmium poisoning.
