| With the increasing demand for new energy,nuclear industry has been developing very fast,and uranium (U) pollution becomes a serious environmental problem especially in the mining area.The discharge of U products and wastes can contaminate soil and water,and finally threaten human health.On the other side,as an environment-friendly biotechnology,the importance of mycorrhizal technology in remediation of polluted environments has received much attention in recent years.Following a brief introduction of the environmental impacts of U contamination,this review summarized the effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) on U uptake and accumulation by plants based on recent research progresses,suggested possible application of AM fungi in remediation of U contaminated environment,and finally discussed about the perspectives in relevant research area. |
