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

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the major limitations that inhibit plant growth and
development in acidic soils. In acidic soils (pH< 5.0), phototoxic-aluminum (Al3+) rapidly …

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 …

Abiotic stresses, such as those induced by climatic factors or contaminants, and biotic
stresses prompted by phytopathogens and pests inflict tremendous losses in agriculture and …

Aluminium (Al) is the third most abundant metallic element in soil but becomes available to
plants only when the soil pH drops below 5.5. At those conditions, plants present several …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a key factor limiting plant growth and crop production on acid soils.
Increasing the plant Al-detoxification capacity and/or breeding Al-resistant cultivars are a …

The systematic study of genotoxicity in plants induced by contaminants and other stress
agents has been hindered to date by the lack of reliable and robust biomarkers. The comet …

The objective of this study was to investigate Al3+-induced IAA transport, distribution, and
the relation of these two processes to Al3+-inhibition of root growth in alfalfa. Alfalfa …

Magnesium (Mg) is an essential nutrient that can alleviate soilborne toxicity of many ions.
This review paper critically assesses the literature on interactions and mechanisms …
