Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, but its availability depends on
soil pH. Despite this abundance, Al is not considered an essential element and so far no …

In this review, we summarize the different biosynthesis-related pathways that contribute to
the regulation of endogenous auxin in plants. We demonstrate that all known genes …

The phytohormone auxin has been shown to be of pivotal importance in growth and
development of land plants. The underlying molecular players involved in auxin …

Expeditious industrial development has prompted the upraised production and release of
colossal amounts of various heavy metals (HMs) and metalloids in the environment. Heavy …

Over 40% of arable land in the world is acidic. Al stress has become a global agricultural
problem affecting plant growth and limiting crop production in acidic soils. Plants have …

Aluminum (Al) is considered as a potential limiting factor for plant growth in acidic
environment. At lower concentration, Al promotes plant growth by facilitating the …

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 …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and productivity in acidic soil.
At pH lower than 5.0 (pH< 5.0), the soluble and toxic form of Al (Al3+ ions) enters root cells …

Auxin is necessary for the inhibition of root growth induced by aluminium (Al) stress,
however the molecular mechanism controlling this is largely unknown. Here, we report that …

Zinc is an essential element for plant; however, in excess it could cause adverse effects on
plant growth and productivity. Plants have evolved various regulatory mechanisms to …
