Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

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

Aluminum (Al) stress is one of the serious limiting factors in plant productivity in acidic soils,
which constitute about 50% of the world's potentially arable lands and causes anywhere …

To deal with increasingly severe periods of dehydration related to global climate change, it
becomes increasingly important to understand the complex strategies many organisms have …

Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA)‐, stress‐, and ripening‐induced (ASR) proteins are reported to
be involved in abiotic stresses. However, it is not known whether ASR genes confer drought …

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 …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the major constraints to agricultural production in acid soils.
Molecular mechanisms of coping with Al toxicity have now been investigated in a range of …

During the last 50 years, it has been shown that abiotic stresses influence plant growth and
crop production greatly, and crop yields have evidently stagnated or decreased in …

Abstract Background Aluminum (Al) toxicity has limited the productivity and expansion of
cereal crops on acid soils; however, a number of plant species or cultivars have developed …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and productivity in acidic soil.
At pH lower than 5.0 (pH< 5.0), the soluble and toxic form of Al (Al3+ ions) enters root cells …
