application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on zinc and iron concentration in wheat under cadmium stress

For evaluate the application of a biofertilizer on zinc and iron concentration in wheat, under cadmium stress, a greenhouse experiment was conducted in factorial design with three replications. treatments included arbuscular mycorrhiza levels (control, <em>glomus mosseae</em> and <em>glomus </em><a href=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0cb0qfjaa&amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fglomus_intraradices&amp;ei=slurva23diblaimsgtgp&amp;usg=afqjcngnrlo2qihenymcmunapxxcvgkbw><em>intraradices</em></a>) and cadmium with six levels (0, 5, 10, 20,40 and 80 <a title=http://www.jchr.org/index.php/jchr/article/view/150 href=http://www.jchr.org/index.php/jchr/article/view/150 target=_blank> mg.kg¹). the measured data showed that the effects of treatments were significant on</a> zinc and iron concentration. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increasing zinc and iron concentration in plant<em>. glomus intraradices</em> species increased zinc concentration in shoot and root % 252 and %222, respectively.  but <em>glomus mosseae</em> species increased iron concentration in shoot and root % 148 and %170, respectively.
