The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

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 …

Plant requires seventeen essential mineral elements for proper growth and functioning
classified as macro and micro-nutrients. Apart from these, cerium (Ce), cobalt (Co), iodine (I) …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acid soils is a significant limitation to crop production worldwide, as
approximately 50% of the world's potentially arable soil is acidic. Because acid soils are …

Aluminum (Al) is the third most ubiquitous metal in the earth's crust. A decrease in soil pH
below 5 increases its solubility and availability. However, its impact on plants depends …

Aluminum (Al) precipitates in acidic soils having a pH< 5.5, in the form of conjugated organic
and inorganic ions. Al-containing minerals solubilized in the soil solution cause several …

Terrestrial plants have two to four times more ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes
than other organisms, including their ancestral microalgae. Recent studies found that plants …

ABC transporters constitute one of the largest protein families found in all living organisms.
ABC transporters are driven by ATP hydrolysis and can act as exporters as well as …

Aluminium (Al) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stress problems around the globe where
acidic soil is present. Al shows a toxic effect between the soil pH 4.5 and 5.5. Root growth …

Eukaryotic organisms have developed diverse mechanisms for the acquisition of iron, which
is required for their survival. Graminaceous plants use a chelation strategy. They secrete …
