Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: TaALMT1 and TaMATE1B promoter alleles are highly correlated with wheat growth in acidic soil with a high concentration of toxic aluminium. The aluminium (Al(3+)) resistance of 338 wheat genotypes with different geographic origins was correlated with morphological traits and TaALMT1 and TaMATE1B alleles. Both of these genes encode malate and citrate transporters associated with Al(3+) resistance...
