Abstract excerpt
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor of crop production in acid soils, which are found mostly in developing countries of the tropics and sub-tropics. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is particularly sensitive to Al toxicity; and development of genotypes with better root growth in Al-toxic soils is a priority. The objectives of the present study were to physiologically assess root architectural...
