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

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the major limitations that inhibit plant growth and
development in acidic soils. In acidic soils (pH< 5.0), phototoxic-aluminum (Al3+) rapidly …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earths crust, comprising about 7% of its
mass. Since many plant species are sensitive to micromolar concentrations of Al, the …

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 …

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 …

Phytotoxicity of aluminum ion (Al3+) is a serious problem limiting crop production on acid
soils. Organic acids with Al-chelating ability play an important role in the detoxification of Al …

Toxic aluminum enters the root cells rapidly, therefore internal detoxification is required.
However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are poorly understood. Here …

Al toxicity is a severe impediment to production of many crops in acid soil. Toxicity can be
reduced through lime application to raise soil pH, however this amendment does not remedy …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity and phosphorous (P) deficiency are two major limiting factors for plant
growth on acidic soils. Thus, the physiological mechanisms for Al tolerance and P …
