Bioremediation potential of low-brominated polybrominated diphenyl by the phyllospheric Wickerhamomyces anomalus

Researchers discovered that a common yeast living on tree leaves can help remove harmful brominated chemicals (PBDEs) from the environment. By studying the genes this yeast uses to survive these toxic chemicals, scientists identified a key transport protein that could help plants better tolerate and accumulate these pollutants. This finding suggests that this yeast could be used as a biological tool to clean up areas contaminated with these persistent toxic chemicals.

In Vitro Mycorrhization for Plant Propagation and Enhanced Resilience to Environmental Stress: A Review

This review examines how beneficial fungi called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be grown alongside plants in laboratory conditions to improve plant growth and stress tolerance. These fungi form partnerships with plant roots, helping them absorb more nutrients and water while protecting them from diseases and environmental stress. By combining this mycorrhizal inoculation with plant tissue culture techniques, scientists can produce large numbers of healthier, more resilient plants for agriculture.
