Industrial revolution brought prodigious encroachment on agricultural productivity but at
apparent environmental costs. One of the major unfortunate consequences of …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acid soils is a significant limitation to crop production worldwide, as
approximately 50% of the world's potentially arable soil is acidic. Because acid soils are …

▪ Abstract Acid soils significantly limit crop production worldwide because approximately
50% of the world's potentially arable soils are acidic. Because acid soils are such an …

Here we present evidence that Centaurea maculosa (spotted knapweed), an invasive
species in the western United States, displaces native plant species by exuding the …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the primary factor limiting crop production on acidic soils (pH values
of 5 or below), and because 50% of the world's potentially arable lands are acidic, Al toxicity …

Abstract Background Aluminium (Al) toxicity is the most important soil constraint for plant
growth and development in acid soils. The mechanism of Al-induced inhibition of root …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Aluminum is the major element in the soil and exists as a stable complex with oxygen and
silicate in neutral and weakly acidic soil. When the soil pH is lower than 4.5–5.0, Al is …

Root hairs project from the surface of the root to aid nutrient and water uptake and to anchor
the plant in the soil. Their formation involves the precise control of cell fate and localized cell …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …
