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 …

Industrial revolution brought prodigious encroachment on agricultural productivity but at
apparent environmental costs. One of the major unfortunate consequences of …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the primary factor limiting crop production on acidic soils (pH values
of 5 or below), and because 50% of the world's potentially arable lands are acidic, Al toxicity …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Aluminum toxicity is an important stress factor for plants in acidic environments. During the
last decade considerable advances have been made in both techniques to assess the …

Aluminium salts have been used as adjuvants in vaccines for almost a century, but still no
clear understanding of the mechanisms behind the immune stimulating properties of …

Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, while its soluble ionic form (Al
3+) shows phytotoxicity, which is characterized by a rapid inhibition of root elongation …

The maintenance of ion homeostasis in plant cells is a fundamental physiological
requirement for sustainable plant growth, development and production. Plants exposed to …

Aluminium toxicity in acid soils having pH below 5.5, affects the production of staple food
crops, vegetables and cash crops worldwide. About 50% of the world's potentially arable …

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 …
