Aluminum (Al) is the third most ubiquitous metal in the earth's crust. A decrease in soil pH
below 5 increases its solubility and availability. However, its impact on plants depends …

Being sessile organisms, plants are ubiquitously exposed to stresses that can affect the DNA
replication process or cause DNA damage. To cope with these problems, plants utilize DNA …

Abstract Toxic aluminum ions (Al3+) found in acidic soils are absorbed by plants and interact
with multiple sites during plant development, affecting especially the root growth. The …

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 …

Abstract Arsenate [As (V)] is a metalloid with heavy metal properties and is widespread in
many environments. Dietary intake of food derived from arsenate-contaminated plants …

The plant DNA damage response (DDR) pathway safeguards genomic integrity by rapid
recognition and repair of DNA lesions that, if unrepaired, may cause genome instability …

Homologous recombination repair (HR) is an error-free DNA damage repair pathway to
maintain genome stability and a basis of gene targeting using genome-editing tools …

Low phosphate (Pi) availability and high aluminum (Al) toxicity constitute two major plant
mineral nutritional stressors that limit plant productivity on acidic soils. Advances toward the …

Efficiently regulating growth to adapt to varying resource availability is crucial for organisms,
including plants. In particular, the acquisition of essential nutrients is vital for plant …

Plants cope with various recurring stress conditions that often induce DNA damage,
ultimately affecting plant genome integrity, growth, and productivity. The CROWDED …
