Abstract excerpt
It was recently shown that vacuolar ATPase and mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase activities are induced by aluminum (Al) in an Al-resistant cultivar of wheat, suggesting that induction of these enzymes could be an adaptive trait involved in Al resistance. To test this hypothesis, we used the Saccharomyces cerevisiae model system. In yeast, unlike wheat, the activity, transcript and protein levels of mitochondrial...
