The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

This review on aluminium stress in plants specifically addresses the dynamism of early root
growth responses to Al. Three response models, threshold for toxicity, hormesis, and …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

The essentiality of 14 mineral elements so far have been reported in plant nutrition. Eight of
these elements were known as micronutrients due to their lower concentrations in plants …

There are a wide range of responses of plants to salinity which involve interactions of Na
with Ca. Plant processes such as growth, photosynthesis, mineral nutrition, water and ion …

The alleviating effect of silicon (Si) supply on aluminum (Al) toxicity was suggested to be
based on ex or in planta mechanisms. In our experiments with the Al-sensitive maize (Zea …

Ca2+ in rooting medium is essential for root elongation, even in the absence of added
toxicants. In the presence of rhizotoxic levels of Al3+, H+, or Na+ (or other cationic toxicants) …

The question of intracellular or extracellular primary lesion in the Al toxicity syndrome is
unresolved. One of the crucial points for answering that question is quantification of Al fluxes …

Quantitative information on the uptake and distribution of Al at the cellular level is required to
understand mechanisms of Al toxicity, but direct measurement of uptake across the plasma …

Root elongation by wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Scout 66) was not inhibited by
NaCl or KCl up to 130 mM in culture solutions or by high Na+ (2 mg g− 1 FW) or K+ (4 mg g …
