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

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 …

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 …

Arsenic (As) contamination and its adverse consequences on rice agroecosystem are well
known. Rice has the credit to feed more than 50% of the world population but concurrently …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that directly implicate plant growth and crop
productivity. Although many genes in response to drought stress have been identified …

Arsenic (As), a chronic poison and non-threshold carcinogen, is a food chain contaminant in
rice, posing yield losses as well as serious health risks. Selenium (Se), a trace element, is a …

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 …

Background While most cells in multicellular organisms carry the same genetic information,
in each cell type only a subset of genes is being transcribed. Such differentiation in gene …

Aluminum (Al) is the most prevalent element in the earth crust and is toxic to plants in acidic
soils. However, plants can address Al toxicity through external exclusion (which prevents Al …

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 …
