Abstract excerpt
Manganese (Mn) toxicity is frequently encountered in crops grown on soils with low pH or low redox potential, and harmful to plant development and growth. This study aimed at exploring adaptive mechanisms to Mn toxicity in rice, and investigated the effects of Mn toxicity on shoot lignification. Sixteen rice genotypes were grown in hydroponic solutions and exposed to normal (0.5 mg dm-3) or toxic (5 mg dm-3) Mn...
