Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Aluminium exposure induced nitric oxide accumulation in wheat root tips.
- Intervention effect cPTIO reduced aluminium accumulation in wheat roots.
- Intervention effect Eliminating nitric oxide did not significantly affect malate efflux or rhizosphere pH under aluminium exposure.
- Intervention effect Aluminium treatment significantly increased cell-wall polysaccharides, pectin methylesterase activity and pectin demethylation in wheat root apices.
- Intervention effect cPTIO significantly decreased pectin methylesterase activity.
- Intervention effect cPTIO increased the degree of pectin methylation in wheat root cell walls.
- Intervention effect cPTIO decreased aluminium-binding capacity of wheat root pectin.
