Abstract excerpt
Acid soils limit plant production worldwide because their high concentrations of soluble aluminium cations (Al(3+) ) inhibit root growth. Major food crops such as wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have evolved mechanisms to resist Al(3+) toxicity, thus enabling wider distribution. The origins of Al(3+) resistance in wheat are perplexing because all progenitors of this hexaploid species are reportedly sensitive to...
