Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Soil acidity causes an increase in the solubility of toxic aluminium (Al), inhibiting root growth and limiting plant access to soil water and nutrients. Toxicity of Al decreases growth and development more in Al-sensitive than Al-resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. Applying magnesium (Mg) may alleviate Al toxicity in acidic soil. It is unclear if growing Al-resistant wheat, coupled with...
