“…They confirm the reaction of endophytic fungus infected with tall and meadow fescue, as well as alfalfa plants infected with arbuscular fungi used for phyto-remediation of soils contaminated with PAHs. Such infected plants had accelerated growth, increased the amount of produced biomass, and strongly reduced PAH content [29][30][31]. Also, the addition of microbiological preparations reduces the toxic action of PAHs, which was proved in the pot studies using pea, in which PAH content was reduced by 60% in two months [32].…”

Our research was carried out on landfill soil after mining and processing the unique mineral ozokerite (earthwax) in Borysław, Ukraine, where natural sodding has not appeared for many years. The strict micro-plot experiment in the split-plot design was set using four organic additives (manure OB, substrate after champignon cultivation PP, municipal sewage sludge OK, and sawdust T), each in the amount of 4, 8, and 12% as compared to the control, as well as the third factor of test plants (white lupine, Italian ryegrass, cocksfoot, and pink clover). Our paper presents the course of plant vegetation and weight of fresh aboveground parts in the year of organic components application for the preliminary experiment and during the consequent experiment. The use of manure on the landfill ground accelerated vegetation of seedlings [phase 12] in relation to the control by seven days and substrate after champignon cultivation and municipal sludge by three days (in proportion to the introduced dose). Furthermore, the additives increased plant density. The use of sawdust did not affect the plant growth rate in this phase, and even caused a slight setback in the number of plants per plot. Plants from the preliminary experiment showed higher growth dynamics and a longer growing season under the influence of the components used: OB>PP>OK. The consequent effect of the applied components (OB, PP, and OK) on plant vegetation was weaker. The use of sawdust resulted in the forfeiture of all plant species during winter. In the consequent experiment, the yield of green mass of the aboveground parts of plants depended on the type and dose of organic additives, and it was a good indicator of the phyto-remediation features of used species. The largest weight of the aboveground parts of plants (1,233 and 1,168 g/m 2 , from cocksfoot and pink clover, respectively) was achieved on the landfill soil with 12% manure addition.

“…Endophytic fungi live systemically within the aerial portion of many grass species and help in improving plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Hildebrandt et al 2007 ;Lingua et al 2008 ;Soleimani et al 2010a ). These fungi reduce abiotic stress by regulating oxidative stress (by reducing the amount of malondialdehyde) (Bressano et al 2010 ).…”

“…dehydrins) and phenolic-like compounds in the rhizosphere (Kuldau & Bacon, 2008;Malinowski and Belesky, 2000). Several researches have also demonstrated the positive effect of endophytic fungi on phytoremediation of heavy metals as well as organic pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons (Soleimani et al, 2010a(Soleimani et al, , 2010b. However, there is a lack of information regarding the effect of endophytic fungi on plant tolerance in response to stress of pollutants, especially organic pollutants, in both laboratory and field conditions.…”

“…It could also be considered that NaCl might increase the occurance of CdCl + which may be absorbed by the roots and translocated to the shoots (Lefevre et al, 2009). Abiotic stresses such as salinity and organic and inorganic pollutants could adversely affect seed germination of plants (Soleimani et al, 2010b;Besalatpour et al, 2008). However, some plants such as Frankenia species have been reported to germinate successfully even though in response to abiotic stresses which demonstrate their uses in remediation and revegetation projects in areas affected by salinity (Easton & Kleindorfer, 2009).…”
