Effect of aluminum on growth and herbicide resistance in Commelina communis and Tradescantia fluminensis, two invasive weed species in tea gardens
Tea gardens are established on acidic soils (pH < 5.5) and undergo extensive fertilization to maximize yield, which inadvertently promotes the proliferation of various weed species. Commelina communis and Tradesc...

Multiple mechanisms are involved in the alleviation of ammonium toxicity by nitrate in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Ammonium (NH4+) toxicity in plants might occur when supplied with NH4+ as the sole nitrogen source or when exposed to high NH4+ levels. The mechanisms behind NH4+ toxicity and the potential of nitrate (NO3–) in m...

Differential effects of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and copper tetraamine sulfate complex ([Cu(NH3)4]SO4) on Cu-enzyme activities, Cu and Fe levels, and lignin deposition in Cu-deficient tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) plants
Knowledge of the effect of different copper (Cu) chemical forms and their application mode on meeting the plant’s Cu requirement is much more limited than that of other micronutrients. In this work, hydroponic...

Signaling Events During the Establishment of Symbiosis Between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Roots
The most prevalent microorganism association in terrestrial plants is the symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant roots. This implies that the genetic background for establishing this sy...

Introduction to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Higher Plant Symbiosis: Characteristic Features, Functions, and Applications
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous, soil-borne, endophytic, obligate biotrophs that colonize the roots of most terrestrial plants to establish mutually beneficial relationships. The colonization...

The impact of algal extract as a biostimulant on cold stress tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Cold stress, including chilling and freezing temperatures, poses significant challenges to plant growth and productivity in temperate and cold climates. Algal-derived biostimulants have been widely employed to...

Aluminum accumulation in Amaranthus species and mechanisms of Al tolerance
The ability to accumulate and tolerate high levels of Al has been reported in relatively few plant families. Up to date there is no report on the Al tolerance or accumulation neither in members of Amaranthacea...

Aluminum Toxicity in Plants: Present and Future
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 mechanisms by which plants cope with Al

Diverse responses of halophyte and glycophyte Lepidium species to the salt-mediated amelioration of nickel toxicity and accumulation
Tolerance mechanisms employed by plants under environmental stresses can protect them against other co-occurring stresses. In this study, the effect of pre-exposure and simultaneous salt treatment on nickel (N...

Phytoremediation of nitrate contamination using two halophytic species, Portulaca oleracea and Salicornia europaea
Nitrate is a common form of nitrogen fertilizer, and its excess application combined with easy leaching from agricultural fields causes water and soil contamination, hazards on human health, and eutrophication...

The arbuscular mycorrhizal mycelium from barley differentially influences various defense parameters in the non-host sugar beet under co-cultivation
The interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and non-host species are poorly studied. Particularly scarce is information on members of the Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae family. Sugar beet (Beta vulg...

Selenium activates components of iron acquisition machinery in oilseed rape roots
Beneficial elements may stimulate plant growth by favoring the availability of essential nutrients for metabolic processes. This study addresses the still unexplored question whether the beneficial action of s...

Silicon mitigates cold stress in barley plants via modifying the activity of apoplasmic enzymes and concentration of metabolites
Apoplasm is the first compartment encountering environmental stresses and is important for plant’s tolerance to low temperature. The effect of silicon (Si) on tolerance to low-temperature stress, e.g., chillin...

Silicon influences growth and mycorrhizal responsiveness in strawberry plants
Effect of silicon (Si) on the response of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa var. Parus) plants to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) was studied under growth chamber conditions. Plants were grown in perlite irriga...

Interactions between aluminum and boron in tea (Camellia sinensis) plants
Response of tea plants (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kontze) to Al (300 µM AlCl3 for 14 weeks) was studied in combination with deficient (−B) or adequate B supply (+B) in hydroponics. Aluminum improved plant growth ...
