Concurrent effect of aluminum toxicity and phosphorus deficiency in the root growth of aluminum tolerant and sensitive rice cultivars
Aluminium (Al) toxicity and phosphorus (P) deficiency are the major constraints to plants under acidic soils (pH ≤ 4.5). In this study, the co-effect...

Aluminum promotes changes in rice root structure and ascorbate and glutathione metabolism
In acidic soil, aluminum (Al) ionizes into trivalent cation and becomes highly toxic to plants. Thus, the objectives of this work were (i) to...
