Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Rice genotypes differ in aluminium tolerance, with resistant landraces sustaining root growth OsSTAR1 / OsSTAR2 mediated exclusion, organic acid efflux, and antioxidant defense, whereas sensitive varieties accumulate Al³⁺ via OsNRAT1-OsALS1 mediated internal sequestration, leading to oxidative damage. This study reveals two contrasting molecular strategies of aluminium (Al) tolerance root-based...
