γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling in plants

SA Ramesh, SD Tyerman, M Gilliham, B Xu - Cellular and Molecular Life …, 2017 - Springer
The role of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a signal in animals has been documented for

Function and mechanism of organic anion exudation from plant roots

PR Ryan, E Delhaize, DL Jones - Annual review of plant biology, 2001 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract The rhizosphere is the zone of soil immediately surrounding plant roots that is
modified by root activity. In this critical zone, plants perceive and respond to their …

The physiology, genetics and molecular biology of plant aluminum resistance and toxicity

LV Kochian, MA Pineros, OA Hoekenga - Plant and soil, 2005 - Springer
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the primary factor limiting crop production on acidic soils (pH values
