Aluminum is the major element in the soil and exists as a stable complex with oxygen and
silicate in neutral and weakly acidic soil. When the soil pH is lower than 4.5–5.0, Al is …

Abstract Background Aluminium (Al) toxicity is the most important soil constraint for plant
growth and development in acid soils. The mechanism of Al-induced inhibition of root …

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 is a major limiting abiotic factor for plant growth and productivity on acidic soils.
The primary disorder of aluminum toxicity is the rapid cessation of root elongation. The root …

Efforts to understand how plants respond to aluminum have focused on describing the
symptoms of toxicity and elucidating mechanisms of tolerance; however, little is known about …

The extent of aluminium internalization during the recovery from aluminium stress in living
roots of Arabidopsis thaliana was studied by non-invasive in vivo microscopy in real time …

The primary phytotoxic effect of aluminum (Al) is confined to the root apex. It is a matter of
debate whether the primary injury of Al toxicity is apoplastic or symplastic. This review paper …

Aluminum being the third most abundant metal in the earth's crust poses a serious threat to
crop productivity in acid soils, which comprise almost half of the arable land. This review …

Plant growth and productivity are limited in many areas of the world by a wide variety of
environmental stresses. This book discusses progress made toward the major goal of …

Al-sensitive (als) mutants of Arabidopsis were isolated and characterized with the aim of
defining mechanisms of Al toxicity and resistance. Most als mutants selected on the basis of …
