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 …

Although anthocyanin (ACN) biosynthesis is one of the best studied pathways of secondary
metabolism in plants, the possible physiological and ecological role (s) of these pigments …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a vital role in Al3+ stress resistance in plants, but the
underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, pretreatment with 2 μM of the H2S …

The occurrence of anthocyanin (ACN) and metal (Me) complexes has been widely
supported by many research works while the possibility that ACNs bind to metalloids (Mds) …

Abstract Hydrangea [Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser.] is a high aluminum-tolerant
ornamental plant species, which has a specific characteristic of color change, ie. some …

The sepals of Hydrangea macrophylla (H. macrophylla) are famous for their color changes
under different cultivation conditions. Despite the structure of the blue complex in blue …

Abstract Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is particularly appreciated because of
its elegant and gorgeous flower color, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms of …

Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is a well known Al-accumulating plant, showing a high
level of aluminum (Al) tolerance and accumulation. Although the physiological mechanisms …

The inflorescence of the broad-leafed grape hyacinth, Muscari latifolium, shows an
interesting, two-tone appearance with the upper flowers being pale blue and the lower ones …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the main constraint of root growth and productivity on arable acidic
soil. Although boron (B) is used to ameliorate Al stress, the exact mechanisms underlying …
