In this study, we investigated the effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)Funneliformis mosseaeandDiversispora spurcumon the growth, antioxidant physiology, and uptake of phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) by maize (Zea maysL.) grown in heavy metal-polluted soils though a potted plant experiment.F. mosseaesignificantly increased the plant chlorophyll a content, height, and biomass; decreased the H2O2and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents; and enhanced the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in maize leaves; this effect was not observed withD. spurcum. BothF. mosseaeandD. spurcumpromoted the retention of heavy metals in roots and increased the uptake of Pb, Zn, Cd, and As, and both fungi restricted heavy metal transfer, resulting in decreased Pb, Zn, and Cd contents in shoots. Therefore, the fungi reduced the translocation factors for heavy metal content (TF) and uptake (TF′) in maize. Additionally,F. mosseaepromoted P and S uptake by shoots, andD. spurcumincreased P and S uptake by roots. Moreover, highly significant negative correlations were found between antioxidant capacity and the H2O2, MDA, and heavy metal contents, and there was a positive correlation with the biomass of maize leaves. These results suggested that AMF alleviated plant toxicity and that this effect was closely related to antioxidant activation in the maize leaves and increased retention of heavy metals in the roots.
