Abstract Development of acid soils that limit crop production is an increasing problem
worldwide. Many factors contribute to phytotoxicity of these soils, however, in acid soils with …

Acidic soils hamper maize (Zea mays L.) production, causing yield losses of up to 69%. Low
pH acidic soils can lead to aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), or iron (Fe) toxicities. Genetic …

Aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant metal in earth crust, whose chemical form is mainly
dependent on soil pH. The most toxic form of Al with respect to plants is Al3+, which exists in …

Al-induced release of Al-chelating ligands (primarily organic acids) into the rhizosphere from
the root apex has been identified as a major Al tolerance mechanism in a number of plant …

Root apical aluminum (Al) exclusion via Al-activated root citrate exudation is widely
accepted as the main Al-resistance mechanism operating in maize (Zea mays) roots …

The formation of reactive oxygen species induced by aluminium stress was investigated in
an Al-sensitive wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype and in Al-tolerant lines developed by …

Highlights•Transcriptome profiling reveals key genes in Al-tolerant barley genotypes.•A
novel tonoplast transporter HvABCB25 is identified for barley Al tolerance.•ABCB25 is …

Soil acidity and phosphorus (P) deficiency are some of the major causes of low maize yields
in Kenya. This study determined the immediate and residual effects of lime and P fertilizer on …

Aluminum toxicity is one of the major constraints for plant development in acid soils, limiting
food production in many countries. Cultivars genetically adapted to acid soils may offer an …

Morin is a fluorochrome which forms a fluorescent complex with aluminium (Al) and is thus
used to localize Al in plant tissues. However, reports about the cellular distribution of Al …
