Aluminum toxicity is an important stress factor for plants in acidic environments. During the
last decade considerable advances have been made in both techniques to assess the …

Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, while its soluble ionic form (Al
3+) shows phytotoxicity, which is characterized by a rapid inhibition of root elongation …

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 …

Low pH, aluminum (Al) toxicity, and low phosphorus (P) often coexist and are
heterogeneously distributed in acid soils. To date, the underlying mechanisms of crop …

Abstract Aluminum (Al), a non-essential metal for plant growth, exerts significant phytotoxic
effects, particularly on root growth. Anthropogenic activities would intensify Al's toxic effects …

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) cleaves, in a Ca 2+-dependent
manner, phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PI-4, 5-P 2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and …

Non-specific phospholipases C (NPCs) were discovered as a novel type of plant
phospholipid-cleaving enzyme homologous to bacterial phosphatidylcholine-specific …

Plant growth and development are coordinalely controlled by several internal factors and
environmental signals. To sense these environmental signals, the higher plants have …

Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a worldwide problem in agricultural practice. Based on evidence
that Al resistance may be an inducible process and that rice is one of the most Al-resistant …

Soybean (Glycine max) is often exposed to high arsenic (As) level in soils or through
irrigation with groundwater. In previous studies on As-treated soybean seedlings we showed …
