About a decade ago, members of a new protein family of anion channels were discovered
on the basis of their ability to confer on plants the tolerance toward toxic aluminum ions in …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major environmental stress that inhibits plant growth and
development. There has been impressive progress in recent years that has greatly …

Deciphering the mechanism of malate accumulation in plants would contribute to a greater
understanding of plant chemistry, which has implications for improving flavor quality in crop …

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 …

Acidic soils hamper maize (Zea mays L.) production, causing yield losses of up to 69%. Low
pH acidic soils can lead to aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), or iron (Fe) toxicities. Genetic …

Low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) are essential O-containing metal-binding
ligands involved in maintaining metal homeostasis, various metabolic processes, and plant …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop production in acidic
soils. Al-induced organic acid (OA) exudation plays an important role in plant Al resistance …

Phosphorus (P) deficiency and aluminum (Al) toxicity often coexist and are two major limiting
factors for crop production in acid soils. The purpose of this study was to characterize the …

Metals and metalloids are essential for normal plant growth and development due to their
direct or indirect involvement in every biological process. However, metal (loid) s become …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the environmental stress factors that affects crop growth,
development, and productivity. MYB transcription factors play crucial roles in responding to …
