Abstract excerpt
Lead (Pb) is a serious heavy metal soil pollutant. It can be absorbed and accumulated by plant roots and impact plant growth. Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) is a low-input forage and potential bioenergy crop, and improving its yield and quality has always been a focus of the alfalfa breeding industry. Little is known about the mechanism by which alfalfa responds to Pb stress at the molecular level. In this study,...
