The relationship between metal toxicity and cellular redox imbalance.

abstract：:Although aluminum (Al) toxicity represents a global agricultural problem, the biochemical targets for Al remain elusive. Recently identified Arabidopsis mutants with increased Al tolerance provide evidence of DNA as one of the main targets of Al. This insight could lead the way for novel strategies to generate Al-tole...

abstract：:Plants constantly sense the changes in their environment; when mineral elements are scarce, they often allocate a greater proportion of their biomass to the root system. This acclimatory response is a consequence of metabolic changes in the shoot and an adjustment of carbohydrate transport to the root. It has long bee...
