Improvements in the biochemical responses and Pb and Ni phytoremediation of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.) plants through Funneliformis mosseae inoculation

Table 2 The analysis of variance for the impact of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) treatment on the Pb and Ni content of the lavender plant under heavy metals (Pb and Ni) pollution

Source of variation	df	Shoot Pb	Shoot Ni	Root Pb	Root Ni
HMs	4	0.095**	0.011**	0.276**	0.044**
AMF	1	0.003**	0.004**	0.003**	0.001**
HMs + AMF	4	0.001 ns	0.002**	0.001*	0.001**
Error	30	0.001	0.001	0.001	0.001
Coefficient of variation		33.13	23.76	9.98	11.39

AMF and HMs refer to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and heavy metals (Pb and Ni), respectively. *, **, and ns, point to significant difference at P ≤ 5% and P ≤ 1% and non-significant, respectively
