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 …

Maintenance of genome integrity is a key issue for all living organisms. Cells are constantly
exposed to DNA damage due to replication or transcription, cellular metabolic activities …

Developmental and environmental signals converge on cell cycle machinery to achieve
proper and flexible organogenesis under changing environments. Studies on the plant cell …

RING zinc finger proteins have a conserved RING domain, mainly function as E3 ubiquitin
ligases, and play important roles in plant growth, development, and the responses to abiotic …

Because the genome stores all genetic information required for growth and development, it
is of pivotal importance to maintain DNA integrity, especially during cell division, when the …

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 …

Acid soil is a worldwide problem to plant production. Acid toxicity is mainly caused by a lack
of essential nutrients in the soil and excessive toxic metals in the plant root zone. Of the toxic …

Aluminum (Al) inhibits plant growth partly by causing oxidative damage that is promoted by
reactive oxygen species and can be prevented by improving antioxidant capacity. Ascorbic …

Summary Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), genetically modified with the Al3+ resistance gene of
wheat (TaALMT1), was compared with a non‐transformed sibling line when grown on an …
