The influence of mycorrhizal fungi in uptake of heavy metals, pollution  response index and yield of sunflower in degraded soils were investigated. It  was a greenhouse experiment with 2 arbuscular mycorrhizae (Glomus mosseae,  Glomus intraradices) and a non-inoculation that served as control. The  treatments were replicated 3 times in a completely randomized design. Each of  the treatment consisted of 30 pots and each pot was filled with 5 kg by  weight of dried top soil. Solutions of lead acetate and cadmium sulphate at  variable levels of: 0, 250, 500, 750, 1000 mg kg-1 and 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 mg  kg-1 respectively were used to pollute the soils. Increase in  pollution-stressed conditions significantly (P<0.05) reduced the infection of  sunflower roots, and the uptake of Pb and Cd in the dry root of sunflower was  also significantly (P<0.05) reduced. Also, arbuscular mycorrhizae enhanced  the root infection of sunflower, increased the pollution tolerance and  consequently increased the yield of sunflower
