Vetiveria zizanioides, renowned for its robust stability and exceptional capacity to sequester heavy metals, has garnered widespread application in tailings ecological restoration efforts. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which are capable of forming symbiotic relationships with more than 80% terrestrial plant roots, play a pivotal role enhancing nutrient uptake bolstering resilience. In this study, we conducted comprehensive investigation into the physiological biochemical responses zizanioides subjected varying levels copper stress (with concentrations ranging from 0 mg/kg 400 mg/kg), or without AMF inoculation. Additionally, performed nontargeted metabonomic analyses gain deeper insights metabolic changes that occur vetiver grass under inoculation stress. Our findings revealed inoculated consistently demonstrated superior growth performance across all compared noninoculated counterparts. Using analyses, affects metabolism phenylalanine related pathways as well contributing promotion formation phytochelatins (PCs) glutamate, thereby alleviating The results highlight potential AMF-inoculated promising bioremediation tool effectively mitigating adverse effects metal pollution.
